LETrER OF TRANSMITTAL 



San Francisco, Cal., June 12, 1894. 

To Hon. H. H. Markham^ Governor of California : 

Sir: We have the honor to submit herewith our final report as mem- 
bers of the California World's Fair Commission, charged under law 
with the " expenditure of all moneys appropriated by the State of Cali- 
fornia for the construction of buildings and maintaining an exhibit of 
the products of the State of California, and for the purpose of properly 
representing the State of California at the World's Columbian Expo- 
sition, to be held in the city of Chicago, State of Illinois, in 1893." 

Experience has demonstrated the wisdom of the Legislature of 1891 
in making a direct appropriation of so large a sum as $300,000, and 
also providing for appropriations by county Boards of Supervisors, for 
the purpose of displaying the products of California at Chicago. These 
provisions afforded an opportunity for the State to justify her claims to 
preeminence as the producer of the greatest number of commodities 
that contribute to man's necessity or comfort, and that, too, within the 
inclosures of the greatest Exposition ever held, and before an assemblage 
of people of every civilized country — an assemblage which, owing to the 
strained relations between many nations of other continents, was pos- 
sible only upon American soil. 

With the single exception of that for Illinois, the California building 
was the largest State building on the Exposition grounds. While main- 
taining a distinct exhibit in nearly all of the department or national 
buildings, such as the horticultural, mining, agricultural, and forestry, 
the State displayed in her own building so extensive an aggregation of 
her products that it was often referred to collectively as " California in 
miniature," and as an " Exposition in itself" Indeed, owing to her 
prominence as an exhibitor, and the active efforts of her representa- 
tives to display her products in a novel manner, and at the same time 
render assistance to the Exposition as a whole, visitors found the word 
"California" an "open sesame," admitting them quickly to chiefs of 
departments and other authorities, and to semi-official social gatherings, 
and insuring marked consideration by executive commissioners of other 
States and nations. It is voicing only current comment to say that no 
other appropriation ever made by this State has so promptly yielded 
such large direct and indirect returns. 

It was hardly to be expected that products, especially fresh fruits and 
vegetables, could be transported two thousand miles and exhibited in as 
fresh condition as on their native soil, but the efforts proved more than 
satisfactory. While a few Californians may have experienced disap- 
pointment at the general showing, before the work of installation was 
completed. Eastern and foreign visitors, for whose benefit the display 
was chiefly made, were not only astonished, but impressed in a prac-

tical manner that was most gratifying. Careful note was kept of press 
notices of California's exhibit, and not a single adverse comment thereon 
was ever seen in an Eastern or foreign newspaper, nor was a word of 
unfavorable criticism ever heard from a visitor outside of our own State. 
As appears from letters filed with office documents transmitted herewith, 
the highest officials of the World's Columbian Exposition and of the- 
National Commission, together with the chiefs of departments and exec- 
utive commissioners of the different States, speak in unqualified praise 
of California's representation at Chicago. By the press California was 
uniformly cited as a model of what enterprise, coupled with favorable- 
climatic conditions, can accomplish. 

The accompanying report embraces a brief statement of the initiative- 
work in collecting and forwarding the California exhibits; a description 
of said exhibits after they were installed at Chicago, both in the Cali- 
fornia Building and in the several department buildings, and in the- 
out-door areas set apart for orchard stock and semi-tropical plants; a 
financial statement of expenditures of the Commission, itemized in such 
a manner as to show clearly for what purposes the disbursements were- 
made and to whom the money was paid; a few pages of typical com- 
ments on the California exhibit by the Eastern and foreign press and 
by prominent officials; a complete list of exhibitors and exhibits in all 
buildings and areas where displays were maintained under the auspices 
of this Commission; an official list of awards secured by the State, by 
counties, associations, and individual Californians; a report of the formal 
exercises on " Dedication Day," etc. 

The financial report shows, an unexpended balance of the original 
appropriation of $20,365 38, which amount is herewith returned to the 
State. A carefully matured plan providing for certain outlays had been 
formulated early in the history of the Exposition. As the months passed 
it was found that increased expenditure would add little, if any, to the 
great benefits already derived; and it was therefore deemed advisable to 
return to the State such moneys as could be saved by careful manage- 
ment. 

We desire to avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our hearty 
thanks and appreciation for the constant and helpful interest shown by 
you in all matters pertaining to the collection and maintenance of 
California's exhibit. Your suggestions in the preliminary stages of the 
work were extremely valuable, while you left entirely to us the super- 
vision and details, "believing," as you have publicly stated, "that the 
interests of the people would be better subserved by placing the manage- 
ment absolutely in their [our] hands, untrammeled in any manner." Your 
action in visiting Chicago, to be present at the dedication of the California 
Building on June 19th, and formally accepting it, on behalf of the State,. 
in an address that admirably set forth the products and resources of our 
great commonwealth and what she has done for the nation, aided in 
further calling public attention to the California display and heighten- 
ing the enthusiasm that was so widely manifested during this event. 
Your careful subsequent study of the contents of this building, and of 
exhibits from California in the great department buildings, as well as 
your conferences with officials of the Exposition, proved your loyalty to 
the State and to the best interests of her people, while it afforded us 
gratifying assurance of your appreciation of the results of our efforts.

firms, individuals, and associations who either prepared exhibits to be 
forwarded or aided in securing the same; and to one and all, wherever

seen. 

All of which is respectfully submitted.

GOVERNOR'S LETTER OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 



Executive Department, ) 
Sacramento, Cal,, June 16, 1894.J 

Hon. Irving M. Scott, President California World^s Fair Commission, 
and Members thereof: 

Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of the final 
report of your Commission, under date of June 12, 1894. 

I can say in all sincerity that no legislative enactment ever received 
a more willing acknowledgment from my hands than the Act providing 
for this Commission. 

Permit me to say that I was so impressed with the importance of 
having California's marvelous resources well represented at that great 
Exposition, that in my inaugural address to the Legislature I expressed 
to that body, in plain language, my appreciation of the opportunity 
afforded us to display to the world California's superior advantages as a 
State. 

That Legislature should be commended for its prompt, earnest, and 
efficient action upon the subject, and for the liberal appropriation made 
to carry out the provisions of the Act, thereby setting an example not 
only for every State in the Union, but, as I believe, to nearly every 
country in the world. In fact, I have been credibly informed by many 
of the leading promoters of that great fair, that the action of California 
in this respect has caused the name of our State to be favorably men- 
tioned in almost every part of the globe. She was the first to act, 
and but two States in the Union, Illinois and New York, exceeded her 
liberality. For enterprise according to her population, she stood pre- 
eminently above all others. 

The spirit of pride for California that permeated so many counties of 
the State, is also worthy of my highest commendation, for their intelli- 
gent and earnest efforts gave to our exhibit that completeness and sym- 
metry which enabled California to derive more substantial and lasting 
benefits from the Exposition than any other State in the Union has 
received. It is apparent to the most casual observer that she has thus 
won a signal victory over a multitude of competitors. 

The bill passed by the Legislature imposed upon me but one impor- 
tant duty, that of appointing the members of the Commission, and in 
my biennial message I placed myself upon record by saying that " it 
was my desire to appoint representative men who could devote both time 
and talent in the interest of the State. The personal standing of my 
appointees in the communities in which they reside, and their reputa- 
tion throughout the State for energy and ability, assured success for 
California at the Exposition. I have never entertained a doubt upon 
that subject." 

After the appointments were made, I met you, and in a few words 
conveyed to you my ideas and my faith in your ability to execute the 



REPORT OF WORLD S FAIR COMMISSION. 5 

trust without interference on my part, sincerely believing that you would 
the better perforin your duties by giving you my confidence, and allow- 
ing you to assume all responsibilities, and earn in your own good way 
the credits accruing from the proper exercise of that trust. 

Your labors have now been brought to a close, and it gives me great 
pleasure to say that the trust reposed in you has been intelligently and 
assiduously prosecuted to a successful termination. True to yourselves, 
you have been loyal to the State. Its interests have been carefully 
guarded, a large amount of money has been judiciously expended, and 
the people of our great 'State may well feel proud of its representation. 
They must, however, realize that the great national financial crash fell 
upon you in the midst of your most eflScient work, and that its baleful 
consequences still a fleet all industries. Nevertheless, the beneficial 
results of your eflbrts have been made apparent by the hundreds of sub- 
stantial visitors to our State during the last year, and the large number 
that have chosen this State for their permanent home. I am confident 
that the future will add immeasurably to the good that has already been 
accomplished. 

I cannot close this acknowledgment of your labors without thanking 
personally each member of the Commission, for the interest bestowed 
in bringing the purposes of the Act to so honorable a conclusion, and I 
congratulate myself in having selected citizens who were so willing to 
leave their private interests and serve the public weal without any hope 
of reward except that which is conferred by the success of their work. 

H. H. MARKHAM, 

Governor. 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 



REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. 



LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS FOR EXHIBITS AT CHICAGO COUNTY FUNDS — TOTAL 

OUTLAY BY CALIFORNIA. 

The official authority for the acts of the California World's Fair 
Commission, in securing and maintaining an exhibit of the products of 
California at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, May 1, 1893, 
to October 30, 1893, is embodied in the following Act of the Legislature, 
passed at the session of 1891: 

CHAPTER XXXVIII. 

An Act appropriating money to pay the expenses of maintaining an exhibit of the products 
of the State of California at the World's Columbian Exposition, to be held in Chicago, in 
eighteen hundred and ninety-three, and to provide for Commissioners thereof. 

[Approved March 6, 1891.] 

The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows : 

Section 1. It is made the duty of the Governor of the State of California, within 
thirty days after the passage of this Act, to appoint seven Commissioners, at least one 
from each of the congressional districts of the State, who shall constitute the "Cali- 
fornia World's Fair Commission," which Commissioners shall be taken, as near as may 
be, from the two leading political parties of the State of California. Said California 
World's Fair Commission shall have the exclusive charge and control of the expendi- 
ture of all moneys appropriated by the State of California for the construction of build- 
ings and maintaining an exhibit of the products of the State of California, and for the 
purpose of properly representing the State of California at the World's Fair Columbian 
Exposition, to be held in the city of Chicago, State of Illinois, in eighteen hundred and 
ninety-three. Each of said Commissioners shall execute and file with the Secretary of 
State, within thirty days after his appointment by the Governor, a good and sufficient 
bond in the sum of $20,000, made to the people of the State of California, which bond 
must be approved by the Governor. Said bond shall be conditioned for the faithful 
performance by said Commissioner of all the duties enjoined upon him by this Act. 

Sec. 2. Said Commissioners shall receive no compensation for their services, but they 
shall be allowed their actual traveling expenses, not exceeding $2,000 each. 

Sbc. 3. The sum of $300,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appro- 
priated out of any moneys in the State Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to meet 
the expenses of erecting buildings and collecting and maintaining an exhibit of the 
products of the State of California at the World's Columbian Exposition, to be held in 
Chicago in eighteen hundred and ninety-three, one half to be expended in the forty- 
third fiscal year, and one half to be expended during the forty-fourth fiscal year; and 
the Controller is hereby directed to draw his warrant on the General Fund, from time 
to time, for such proportion of said sum of $300,000, and in favor of such persons, as the 
majority of said Commissioners hereinabove referred to shall direct, and the State 
Treasurer is hereby empowered and directed to pay the same. 

Sec. 4. This Act is exempted from the provisions of Section 672 of the Political Code. 

Sec. 5. This Act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. 

The same Legislature, in revising the County Government Act, wisely 
incorporated therein the following clause, which authorized the several 
counties of the State to make appropriations for World's Fair purposes, 
the expenditures of the moneys so appropriated to be under charge of 
persons appointed or approved by the different county Boards of 
Supervisors: 

Sec. 25, Sub. 40. To appropriate from the General Fund of the county, for the purpose 
of securing and maintaining an adequate exhibition of the products of such county at 
the World's Columbian Exposition, to be held in Chicago in the year eighteen hundred

and ninety-three, as follows: In couoties of the first class, not to exceed $50,000; in 
•counties of the second, third, and fourth classes, not to exceed $40,000, and in all other 
classes in the State of California not to exceed $7,500. 

Under this provision, San Francisco County was authorized to appro- 
priate $50,000; Ahxmeda, Los Angeles, and Santa Clara Counties $40,000, 
-and all other counties in the State $7,500 each. Twenty-three counties 
took advantage of the special law, nineteen of which maintained 
distinct exhibits in the California Building at Chicago. 

The Legislature of 1893 made further provision for funds for county 
purposes. A special Act was passed, in terms almost identical with the 
clause just quoted, with the exception that counties of the first class 
were authorized to appropriate not to exceed $25,000; counties of the 
second, third, and fourth classes not to exceed $20,000 each, and all 
other counties in the State not to exceed $7,500 each, in addition to 
former appropriations. Up to date of this report, only three counties, 
■San Diego, Fresno, and San Bernardino, have taken advantage of this 
latter authorization. 

Under both provisions the Boards of Supervisors of the following 
named, counties appropriated and expended the sums indicated below 
for the purpose of making an adequate display of the products of their 
respective counties: 

Alameda County . $35,000 

Butte County 5,300

Taking the State appropriation of $300,000, and the aggregate appro- 
priations by the counties of $200,000, gave California a total fund of 
more than $500,000 to defray expenses of securing and maintaining an 
■exhibit of her products, etc., at Chicago. This sum does not include the 
legislative appropriations of $25,000 for a State book and $2,500 for 
expenses pertaining to the California Room in the Woman's Building, 
nor outlays by private or independent exhibitors. 



O REPOET OP WORLD S FAIR COMMISSION. 

APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS, AND ORGANIZATION. 

In March, 1891, John Daggett, of the First Congressional District; 
Robert McMurray, of the Second Congressional District; A. T. Hatch, 
of the Third Congressional District; Irving M. Scott, of the Fourth 
Congressional District; James D. Phelan, of the Fifth Congressional 
District; L. J. Rose, of the Sixth Congressional District, and Thomas H. 
Thompson, of the Seventh Congressional District, received official notifi- 
cation of their appointment as members of the California World's Fair 
Commission to carry out the provisions of the general Act previously 
quoted. Within a few days after the receipt of their appointments, the 
members of the Commission met in San Francisco, conferred on the 
scope of the work, outlined a general plan of action, and perfected for- 
mal organization by electing officers as follows: President, Irving M. 
Scott; Vice-President, James D. Phelan; Secretary, Thos. H. Thompson. 

In April, 1892, Mr. Thompson resigned as a Commissioner, S. W. Fer- 
gusson, of Bakersfield, being appointed in his stead. The former was 
then elected by the Commission as Secretary and General Manager, and 
in the supervision of the preliminary work performed much valuable 
service. His connection with the Commission ceased in February, 1893,. 
and soon afterwards Dr. N. J. Bird, of San Francisco, was elected Gen- 
eral Manager and C. M. Wells, of Los Angeles, Secretary. Dr. Bird 
resigned in August, and H. A. Brigham, of San Francisco, was named 
as his successor. Mr. Wells resigned June 30th, and T. C. Judkins, of 
San Francisco, who had been serving as Assistant Secretary, was chosen 
in his stead. Commissioner Daggett, having been appointed Superin- 
tendent of the U. S. Mint at San Francisco, tendered his resignation to 
the Governor in May, 1893, and in the same month W. P. Mathews, of 
Tehama County, was appointed to succeed him. 

PRELIMINARY WORK — TESTING CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ACT — SELECTING SITE 
FOR CALIFORNIA BUILDING. 

While the Commission was engaged in maturing plans for the best 
method of displaying the products of California at Chicago, and was 
arranging for World's Fair auxiliary organizations throughout the State, 
the constitutionality of the Act of the Legislature appropriating money 
to defray the expenses of the exhibit was questioned by the State Con- 
troller, and a suit to decide the matter was brought in July. The 
decision of the Supreme Court, upholding the constitutionality of the 
Act, was not rendered until November 2, 1891, and thus active work was 
delayed for nearly eight months. 

In the meantime, however, experience had shown the desirability and 
even necessity of the Commissioners visiting Chicago in order to famil- 
iarize themselves with their privileges, responsibilities, and duties, to 
understand clearly the scope of the exhibits in the department or 
national buildings, and to ascertain how California could best contribute 
to these departments while, at the same time, maintaining a display of 
products in her own proposed State building. A more important object 
was that of selecting an eligible site for the building within the large 
space reserved for State buildings in Jackson Park. All members of 
the Commission proceeded to Chicago early in June, 1891, made a crit- 
ical examination of the grounds, and held numerous conferences with 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 9 

Exposition officials, especially with the chiefs of the several depart- 
ments. 

The site originally selected for California by the National Commis- 
sioners was rendered unavailable by the final decision of the World's 
Columbian Exposition to erect thereon an Art Building. After a care- 
ful examination of other sites, in company with W. I. Buchanan, Chief 
of the Department of Agriculture, Dion Geraldine, Assistant Superin- 
tendent of Construction, R. Ulrich, Assistant Landscape Gardener, and 
D. H. Burnham, Supervising Architect, an area of about five acres was 
chosen on the western side of Jackson Park, near the Fifty-ninth Street 
entrance. The approval of Frederick Law Olmsted, Landscape Gar- 
dener, being necessary, a committee, consisting of Commissioners Scott, 
Phelan, McMurray, and Rose, proceeded to Brookline, Mass., where Mr. 
Olmsted then was, and prevailed upon him to assign the site to Cali- 
fornia, but he deemed it necessary to restrict the space to about two and 
one half acres. Later, a strip forty feet wide was taken from the west 
side of the space for the intramural railway; but, through the active 
efforts of National Commissioner M. H. de Young, of California, this was 
compensated by a grant of additional space to the north, which gave a 
larger and much desired eastern frontage. As finally determined, the 
lot had nearly the form of a right-angled triangle, with a length of 680 
feet from north to south, and a width of 297 feet at the northern end — 
an outward curve along its eastern side taking the place of the hypothe- 
nuse. Colorado occupied the space adjoining northward; Wisconsin, 
Indiana, and Illinois, sites across an avenue eastward, while the 
Woman's Building stood on an area southward, beyond the Fifty-ninth 
Street entrance. 

The decision of the Commissioners, emphasized during this visit to 
Chicago, to erect the proposed State building with a view to utility 
rather than comfort, and to combine under one roof a display of all 
California products, so that visitors might there see California in minia- 
ture, led to far-reaching and beneficial results. After the close of the 
Exposition it was found that nearly all State executive officers, whose 
buildings had been constructed as semi-club houses, with a view to 
receiving friends and guests rather than displaying products, expressed 
regret at the small practical results from their outlays, compared to 
what might have been attained had but little space been devoted to 
reception-rooms and the greater portions utilized for exhibition purposes. 

At these early meetings in Chicago it was decided that, in order to 
display to best advantage the vast number and variety of California 
products, the exhibit in the State building should as a general thing be 
classified in conformity with the classification adopted by the Exposi- 
tion officials for the department buildings. It was further decided that, 
in order to give the State as large a representation as possible, the 
Commission should strongly encourage the making of displays in the 
department buildings, and render to exhibitors all reasonable assist- 
ance. It was held, however, that owing to the provisions of Section 22 
of the State Constitution, that no money shall be drawn from the State 
Treasury for benefit of associations, etc., not under the exclusive man- 
agement of the State, no direct financial assistance could be given to 
individual exhibitors who retained control of their exhibits in Califor- 
nia and at Chicago. It was also decided that to secure the best results, 
in accordance with the classification adopted by the Columbian author- 



10 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

ities, the members of the Commission should be constituted committees 
of one, as follows: On Topography, Geology, and Forestry, Commis- 
sioner Daggett; Mines and Minerals, Commissioner McMurray; Horti- 
culture, including fruits, oils, nuts, vegetables, and flowers, Commis- 
sioner Hatch; Machinery and Shops, Commissioner Scott; Art, Litera- 
ture, Education, and objects of Historical Interest, Commissioner Phelan; 
Wines, Mineral Waters, Live Stock, and Fish, Commissioner Rose; 
Agriculture, Commissioner Thompson. When Mr. Thompson resigned 
as Commissioner, and S. W. Fergusson was appointed in his stead, the 
latter was placed in charge of Agriculture; also when Commissioner 
Daggett resigned, W. P. Mathews, by virtue of his office, assumed 
general charge of Forestry, etc. 

WORK IN SECURING EXHIBITS. 

On returning from Chicago, the work of securing exhibits was pros- 
ecuted with renewed vigor. The Commission at once took steps to form 
World's Fair Associations in the different counties in the State, it being 
deemed advisable to place in the hands of these associations the detail 
of collecting and preparing creditable exhibits of the products of each 
county. The plan proved so successful that it was adopted in a some- 
what modified form by several other States, the system being known 
and recognized as " the California plan." In these States, however, the 
change was made too late to secure the maximum of beneficial results. 
As a rule, the officers of the county associations were men of unusual 
intelligence and activity, and the results of their efforts, combined with 
those of other enterprising residents and companies in the different 
counties, were fully apparent in the splendid displays at Chicago. At 
one time there were thirty-five organized County World's Fair Associa- 
tions, out of a total of fifty-four counties in the State. A few of these 
associations disbanded, after having made unsuccessful efforts to secure 
appropriations from their Boards of Supervisors toward defraying, even 
in part, the expenses of a separate county exhibit; but the majority 
kept at work nobly. Three attempts were made, in different parts of 
the State, to combine a number of counties into district associations; 
but only one, the Southern California World's Fair Association, main- 
tained its organization. 

Among plans adopted to stimulate interest in World's Fair exhibits 
were the following: Employing and encouraging lecturers to visit im- 
portant centers; sending out energetic and active canvassers to different 
portions of the State; giving financial aid to a monthly magazine, 
devoted exclusively to California's proposed exhibit at Chicago and, in- 
cidentally, to World's Fair news in general; issuing directly, by the 
Commission, World's Fair notes or bulletins. These bulletins were 
issued weekly for six months prior to September, 1892, and after that 
date as often as circumstances appeared to warrant. 

An effective stimulus to the collection and preparation of exhibits 
was the decision to hold what was afterwards known as the Preliminary 
World's Fair Exhibit of California. This was arranged by the Commis- 
sion, in conjunction with the Trustees of the Mechanics' Institute in 
San Francisco, the latter agreeing to forego their annual fair for one 
year. The largest cash premiums ever offered in the State for a display 
of products proved a strong inducement to different county organiza-

tions to complete their exhibits at an early date. The result was that 
several counties secured premiums enough to reimburse them in a large 
measure for previous outlays in collecting a World's Fair display. 
From all portions of the State the donations and collections of merito- 
rious articles intended for exhibition at Chicago were brought together 
under one vast roof, constituting the most complete and varied showing 
of the State's resources and productions that had ever been seen. The 
display was further beneficial in affording an opportunity to arrange 
the products in an effective way, to institute comparisons with other 
exhibits and, by such comparison and study, to decide on the very best 
methods of installation at Chicago. The results of the Exposition, 
where all articles from California were given the maximum of effective- 
ness by means of novel designs, showed the wisdom of holding the pre- 
liminary exhibit, which took place in the Mechanics' Pavilion, San 
Francisco, from January 10 to February 11, 1893. 

BOARD OF LADY MANAGERS. 

Exposition ofiicials and other State Boards having found the work 
performed by Boards of Lady Managers very efficient, this Commission, 
on January 16, 1892, took formal action toward creating a Board of 
Lady Managers for California. Seven members were appointed by the 
Commission, one for each congressional district, as follows: First Con- 
gressional District, Mrs. Anna Morrison Reed, of Laytonville; Second 
District, Mrs. Virginia S. Bradley, of Nevada City; Third District, Mrs. 
Amelia M. Marsellus, of Alameda; Fourth District, Mrs. Ella Sterling 
Cummins, of San Francisco; Fifth District, Mrs. E. 0. Smith, of San 
Jose; Sixth District, Mrs. Olive C. Cole, of Los Angeles; Seventh Dis- 
trict, Mrs. Flora M. Kimball, of San Diego. Permanent organization 
was effected May 1, 1892, by the election of Mrs. Smith as President; 
Mrs. Kimball, Vice-President; Mrs. Marsellus, Second Vice-President; 
and Hester A. Harland, Secretary — the latter retaining her position 
until the ofiice of the Commission was moved to Chicago. The follow- 
ing California members of the National Board were made ex officio 
members of the State Board: Mrs. James R. Deane, Mrs. P. P. Rue, 
Mrs. I. L. Requa, and Mrs. Frona Eunice Waite. In the prosecution 
of their duties much interest and activity were shown, not only in 
features relating directly to an exhibit of woman's work, but in all 
matters bearing upon World's Fair features in general. The results of 
their efforts are given elsewhere. Mrs. Cole resigned as a member of the 
Board in April, 1893, and in July of the same year Mrs. Amanda P. 
Wiggins of Los Angeles was appointed in her stead. 

THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING AT CHICAGO. 

The erection of a suitable building in Jackson Park to fitly represent 
the State was given most careful consideration by the Commission. As 
early as January, 1892, advertisements were inserted in leading San 
Francisco newspapers, soliciting plans for a State building, and stipu- 
lating that they should be of the Mission and Moorish types, as these 
would be distinctive and typical of the earliest architecture known in 
California. Premiums were offered for the accepted design, and for the 
second, third, fourth, and fifth next best designs. A large number of 



12 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

California architects competed, and so excellent was their work that it 
was difficult to make a selection. Finally, the plan submitted by 
A. Page Brown of San Francisco was adopted, the premium for the sec- 
ond best design being awarded to B. McDougall & Son, and for the third 
best to J. C. Pelton, Jr., both of San Francisco. 

As completed, the California Building was rectangular in form, and 
from two to three stories high, the extreme length being 435 feet^ from 
north to south, with an extreme width of 144 feet. The height of the 
first story was 1 8 feet, and the minimum height of the second story 1 7 
feet. From the ground to the eaves was 50 feet, to the center of the roof, 
65 feet, and to the top of the central dome, 113 feet. On top of the roof, 
between the dome and the ends of the building, were two skylights, each 
110 by 36 feet. The building was a frame one, having the exterior 
walls coated with " staff " — a mixture of fiber and rough cement of a 
light gray tint — which proved a successful imitation of adobe. The 
roof was covered with red tiles similar to those in use on the old Mis- 
sions. There were eight bays, or towers, on the building — two at each 
end and four surrounding the dome — all of them being 80 feet high 
and surmounted with flagstaffs, from which waved during the Exposition 
the national standard, California bear flag, and large banners repre- 
senting California scenes in mining, agriculture, horticulture, etc. In 
general, the towers were designed after the Mission belfries. Under the 
roofed arcades surrounding the glass interior of the dome, and on a 
level with the roof of the main building, was a space of about 2,500 
square feet; and immediately outside of this was a larger area, forming 
a wide promenade, of about 7,500 square feet. These spaces together 
formed what was known as the " Roof Garden." There being about 
60,000 square feet of space on the ground floor, 40,000 on the second, or 
gallery floor, 10,000 on the Roof Garden, and approximately 1,500 on 
what may be termed the section of a third story, under the roof at the 
south end, it made a total of 111,500 square feet, or about 2^ acres of 
floor space for the entire building. It was the largest State building 
on the Exposition grounds, with the single exception of that for Illinois. 

Visitors at Chicago deemed it highly appropriate that the California 
building should be of the distinctive Mission style, with only such con- 
cessions as were necessary to relieve the otherwise somber effect. One 
of the main factors in achieving the latter result was the large central 
dome, especially after the surrounding space was filled with palms, 
orange and lemon trees, and other tropical plants. Contrary to the 
popular belief, the building was not designed after any single Mission, 
but was a composite, embracing a few features of many. The design of 
the southern end of the building, with its classic pediment and col- 
umns, recalled the beautiful old Mission at Santa Barbara; the main 
gable of the principal eastern facade recalled the mission of San Luis 
Rey; the towers, San Luis Obispo and other missions; but they were 
not absolute copies. There was nothing in the Mission architecture to 
suggest a roof-garden, therefore the architect adopted the Moorish treat- 
ment and detail. The building was embellished by the richly molded 
windows over the arched entrances, and by lines of grace and beauty 
wherever opportunity oflered. The main or ground floor was used en- 
tirely for exhibition purposes, as was also the greater amount of space 
on the second floor, or gallery. 

The offices of the Commission were grouped in the northeast wing of

REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 13 

the latter floor, in such a way as to command a view of the whole in- 
terior. The space in the section of a third story referred to was utilized 
as lodging-rooms for custodians, etc., while the "Roof Garden" served 
as a cafe, or restaurant, established largely with a view of promoting 
the use of California fruits and wines. On either side of the main eastern 
entrance were elevators to convey visitors to the upper floors. 

The cost of the building, including gas and electric light fixtures, 
plumbing, etc., was about $106,000. 

FINAL DISPOSITION OF BUILDING. 

Much encouragement was given the Commission late in the summer 
to hope that our profier of the building to the South Park Commission- 
ers of Chicago for museum purposes, and especially for the ethnological 
and anthropological displays, would be accepted. Its acceptance was 
recommended by the chief of the department most directly concerned, 
but it was finally declined, owing to the acknowledged necessity that a 
building to permanently contain rare and valuable articles for museum 
purposes should be more durably constructed than this or other Expo- 
sition buildings. 

An agreement entered into between this Commission and the execu- 
tive officers of the World's Columbian Exposition stipulated that Cali- 
fornia should be given the free use of the tract allotted to her, but 
that her building should be removed at the expense of the Commission, 
and the grounds restored to their original condition for park purposes, 
by May 1, 1894. In order to carry out this agreement, the Commission 
early took steps toward effecting a sale of the building, occupation to 
begin after the close of the Exposition. The first bids secured indicated 
that not only would there be no salvage from the building, but its re- 
moval would require a large outlay by the Commission. Renewed efforts 
were then made to efl'ect a sale before all other State and foreign build- 
ings should be thrown upon the market. Bids were solicited from 
house-wreckers in Cincinnati, New York, and Detroit, besides those of 
Chicago. The competition thus engendered caused a gradual reduction 
in price. The bids submitted, and which are now on file in the office 
records, ranged as follows, the figures given being the amounts that con- 
tractors expected the Commission to pay them for the work of removal: 
$13,671, with an allowance of $815 for material in the building; $9,200, 
with $1,500 allowance for material; $7,500 net; $6,175, with an allow- 
ance Of $1,700 for material. Competition continued to reduce the bids, 
until one was received offering to pay the Commission $500 for the 
building. This offer was accepted, and a release from the proper officials 
is now on file, showing that the structure has been entirely removed and 
the grounds restored to the required condition. 

EXHIBITS MOVED TO CHICAGO — INSTALLATION, ETC. 

The work of collecting exhibits having been completed as far as time 
and circumstances would permit, shipments to Chicago began to be 
made in March, 1893, and continued thereafter at regular intervals 
until about May 15th, although by far the greater number reached 
there before May 1st, when the Exposition was formall}^ opened. The 
entire office force and employes selected to aid in caring for exhibits, 



14 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

etc., reached Jackson Park about April 1st, but found that, owing to- 
inclement weather and other causes, the contractors had not sufficiently 
completed the building to permit exhibits to be installed therein. Cali- 
fornia, however, was further advanced in the line of installation than 
most of the States represented, and work being pushed with renewed 
vigor, the opening day of the Exposition found her ready to receive 
such visitors as manifested a special desire to see and study her products,, 
although it was deemed advisable to temporarily defer throwing open 
the doors to the public, in order to hasten the arrangement of exhibits. 
On that day the Californians attended the formal opening ceremonies- 
and unfurled to the breeze flags from the many flagstaffs on her build- 
ing, at the moment that President Cleveland touched the electric button 
which started the machinery and announced to all nations that the 
World's Columbian Exposition had begun. 

Early in May the California Building was thrown open to all comers,, 
and from that day to the close of the Exposition her exhibits were the 
marvel of every visitor who was not already acquainted with the- 
variety and wealth of her resources. Additions to exhibits were made 
from time to time, increasing their novelty and effectiveness. 

It is worthy of note that every county in California was represented 
in the building, either in the State collective or in the county displays.. 

AGGREGATE OF SHIPMENTS FREIGHT RATES EXHIBITS RETURNED. 

So far as inquiry at Chicago could determine, no other State in the 
Union shipped to the World's Columbian Exposition so many carloads 
of exhibits as California. Two or three States forwarded a portion of 
the constructive material for their buildings, which necessarily called 
for many cars; but aside from that, the aggregate of shipments hardlv 
compared with that from this State, notwithstanding California is the 
most western of all States and the farthest removed from the site of the 
Exposition. 

A compilation from official records shows that there were shipped to 
Chicago by this Commission 84 full carloads and 22 partial car.loads, or 
a total of 106 cars. Besides this, about 35 full carloads of fresh fruits- 
for renewals were sent by county associations. Still further, the State- 
Commission and a number of counties, especially those in tiie northern 
part of the State, made arrangements with difi'erent fruit unions and 
wholesale commission merchants, whereby the smaller consignments of 
fruit were shipped through these agencies and delivered at California 
headquarters after reaching Chicago. An approximate estimate of the- 
amount thus received by the counties and for the State horticultural 
exhibit, gives 50 carloads and 15 partial cars, making a grand total of 
156 carloads and 37 partial cars as the quota of display material for- 
warded under State and county auspices. If placed in a continuous 
line, these shipments would make a solid trainload of exhibits about a 
mile in length, or fill a large-sized sailing vessel. This does not include 
shipments from California by firms or individuals who maintained 
exhibits under their own names and at their own expense. 

At an early date the railroads forming the Transcontinental Asso- 
ciation agreed on a full tariff rate from Pacific Coast points to Chicago 
on all articles to be exhibited at the Exposition; also, that after the 
close of the Exposition said articles should be returned free to the 







"Statue of California "—California Building. (Page 19.) 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 15 

several starting points, provided they had not changed ownership. As 
the larger number of articles from California were likely to be of such 
a character that they would not be returned — such as horticultural, 
agricultural, floricultural, and other products — the California Commis- 
sion took steps to secure a modification of the special rates established. 
Personal interviews were had with the officials of different railroads,, 
and letters and telegrams were sent urging the granting of, at most, a 
one half regular tariff' rate to Chicago on articles of a perishable nature,, 
or which, from their character, would not be returned. 

After several conferences the railroads agreed to modify their rulings 
in accordance with our request, and a new circular was issued by the 
Transcontinental Association, providing that the following commodities 
could be carried to Chicago at one half the regular tarifi" rates: Agri- 
cultural products; horticultural products; floricultural products; forest 
products, including maps, statistics, drawings, and photographs not 
advertising any individual trade; specimens — botanical, fossil, and 
mineral; samples of cereals and grasses; fish for aquarium or museum; 
building material used in construction of exhibition buildings, or build- 
ings for exhibition, compartments, or exhibition stands; stone; woman's 
fancy needlework or articles of feminine manufacture, loaned for exhi- 
bition; old Indian canoes, pack saddles, and similar relics of early 
frontier life; wild animals. As the larger part of California's exhibit 
consisted of horticultural, agricultural, and floricultural products, which 
were not returned, the modified ruling effected a large saving in freight 
bills. 

Had it not been for the California Midwinter International Exposition,. 
which began in San Francisco early in 1894, the aggregate of commodities 
reshipped would have been exceedingly small; but inasmuch as it would 
have been practically impossible to arrange here on so short notice an 
adequate display of California's products, especially fruits in solution, 
dried and preserved fruits, etc., the Commission exercised a liberal policy 
in paying freight on return shipments, practically agreeing to send back 
all exhibits, of whatever nature, that county and department managers 
felt assured would be needed for display purposes. The result was that 
twenty-seven carloads were returned, thereby contributing greatly to the 
success of the fair and maintaining the credit of the State. 

CLASSIFICATION OF EXHIBITS. 

The various articles in the California Building were installed under 
two general heads: State exhibits and county exhibits. It was the 
original intention of the Commission to have all displays in the building 
collective; that is, that there should be a certain allotment of space for 
•mining, another allotment for horticulture, another for agriculture, etc.,. 
and that the exhibits from the counties should be placed therein, after 
being separated into departments and groups, and proper credits given. 
Later, however, after a conference with county representatives, and 
especially after a State Convention of County World's Fair Associations, 
called by the Commission for the purpose of consulting on the best 
methods of securing and displaying exhibits, it was decided to make in 
this building, first, a general or collective classification, and second, a 
county classification of exhibits. The change was made with a view of 



16 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

securing the best results with the least expense, and later experience 
proved the wisdom of the modification. 

It is only a statement of fact to say that no other State could have so 
effectively combined a county classification with its general classifica- 
tion, since no other possesses so widely different conditions for the favor- 
able growth of products, which conditions may be briefly enumerated 
thus: California includes the lowest as well as the highest land in the 
United States, varying from 300 feet below the level of the sea to nearly 
15,000 feet above; mountains steep, rugged, and almost alpine in their 
glacial fields, and plains on which ice is unknown and where not a flake 
of snow has been seen within the memory of man; regions where the 
rainfall is so great as to keep the slopes comparatively drenched, and 
depressed or arid spots where from year to year hardly a cloud flecks 
the sky or a drop of rain falls, but which, under the marvelous eflects 
of irrigation, are transformed into comparative gardens; forests so dense 
as to be almost impenetrable, and plains so wide that not a native tree 
can be seen. The State has a larger area than that of New York, Penn- 
sylvania, Maryland, and Virginia combined; has inland regions large 
enough for empires, while boasting of a coast line more than 850 miles 
in length, which if transferred eastward would extend from Boston, 
Mass., to Savannah, Ga., or cover the seacoast of eleven Atlantic States. 
Altitude and latitude, however, would avail but little, had not the pro- 
nounced topographical outlines of the State been placed by nature in 
such relations as they bear to certain great oceanic currents, especially 
the warm Japan current of the Pacific, which combine to give the State 
a climate varying from that of the tropics to that of the frigid zone, 
and so wonderful in its effects on soil products as to constitute a govern- 
ing factor in all real estate valuations. In the more favored regions of 
California, Nature has raised up mountain chains of such height, such 
longitudinal direction, and at such distances from each other, as to 
make the inclosed valleys, under the effect of a climate possessing 
abundant heat, continuous sunshine, and dry air, a virtual succession 
of conservatories large enough for empires. 

It was with a knowledge of these varied conditions that the Califor- 
nia World's Fair Commission agreed to a county classification in addi- 
tion to the general one. In arranging details it was required that the 
counties applying for space give ' a plan of their exhibit, drawn to a 
scale, with a statement of the general character of the display proposed. 
At the same time it was insisted that they agree, in the interest of the 
State, to contribute to the general classification, when called upon to do 
so by the Commission. In the general classification, counties and indi- 
viduals making contributions were given due credit therefor in labels, 
catalogues, etc. There was thus an harmonious exhibit of California 
horticulture, floriculture, and viticulture; its forest products, mining, 
and agriculture; its art, educational, and religious progress; its fish, 
and objects of historical interest. In the county classification, each 
county received a reasonable allotment of space, commensurate with 
the amount of money raised for its exhibits and the success attending 
efforts to make complete and novel displays. In this space each county 
was entitled to make a compact showing of its products, under such 
rules and regulations as the Commission deemed wise and just. Both 
classifications were under the general supervision of the Commission, 
but the wishes of the county representatives were complied with as far

as was consistent with good order and the making of an harmonious 
display. As the. Exposition progressed, the county managers proved in 
general so active and efficient, that even the few restrictions were largely 
removed, the trust imposed being violated in no material instance. 
Taking the actual space occupied on both floors of the building, the 
areas were almost equally divided between State and county exhibits. 

Applications for space in the State building, filed by counties, dis- 
tricts, firms, and individuals, had been received so rapidly before going 
to Chicago, that the amount of material offered was found sufficient to 
fill a building more than twice as large as the one erected. An intelli- 
gent discretion was therefore exercised to sift the offerings in such a 
manner as to raise the standard of quality. Incidentally it may be 
stated that the requests and demands formally made on the Commission 
in writing, by associations and individuals, for financial aid in pre- 
paring exhibits, aggregated nearly $630,000, or more than twice the 
total amount appropriated by the Legislature for the collection and 
maintenance of the California exhibit at Chicago. Besides this, there 
were many other applications for aid in furtherance of different enter- 
prises and schemes that did not ask for a specific sum, but if recognized 
would have amounted to many thousands more.

EXHIBITS. ETC., IN CALIFORNIA BUILDING. 



INTERIOR EFFECT AND DECORATIONS. 

The general effect of the interior of the building was aptly described 
by one of the leading illustrated Eastern journals in these words: 
" The general impression of the visitor upon entering California's great 
building at the fair is one of tropical luxuriance and vastness. The 
great golden globe of oranges; the statue of California, bearing upon her 
brow the star of empire; the statue of heroic size of James W. Marshall ^ 
the discoverer of gold in California; the towering form of the horse and 
rider made of prunes; the pampas plumes and palm leaves everywhere; 
and above all the towering palm tree under the center of the dome, 
with fountains playing about its base, combine to give an impression 
wholly different from that given by any other State building, and only 
to be compared in novelty and variety to the exhibits of far eastern 
countries in the great Exposition." 

The scheme for interior decorations was novel, and elicited much 
favorable comment. Owing to the size and peculiar construction of the 
building, it was found impossible, after reaching Chicago, to carry out 
as fully and successfully as desired the decorative plans outlined before 
leaving San Francisco, but the results were fairly satisfactory. The 
idea was to represent different eras of the State's progress, and use our 
native palms, grasses, tree growths, etc., to produce a semi-tropical 
effect, together with a suggestion of the wildwood. Palm leaves, pampas 
plumes, oak boughs, pine cones, and native grasses — all shipped from 
California — formed the main features of the decorations, being combined 
with admirable taste by Miss Mary D. Bates of San Francisco, who 
designed and supervised the work. 

Above the gallery railings were several large canvases, illustrating 
early Indian life, the mining era, agricultural era, floriculture, viticult- 
ure, horticulture, etc. About these paintings were grouped respectively 
Indian trophies; the pick, shovel, and other mining implements used 
in the early days; grain, cornstalks, farming implements, etc., all 
worked in with pine cones, branches of cedar, etc. 

Above the second floor, near the south entrance of the building, was a 
large canvas, on which appeared in gold letters these words, written by 
a California editor in reference to the admission of the State into the 
Union: "They sought her. They wooed her. They won her. They 
placed her, the brightest jewel that now gleams in the coronet of 
Columbia." 

Above the bridge across the south end of the north gallery, was a large 
painting of a California bear. On one side of the canvas appeared a 
long banner, containing the word " California," neatly lettered in gold, 
while on the opposite side was a banner of equal size on which was 
inscribed "Esto Perpetua." Around these, and on the pillars support- 
ing the roof, were palm fronds, oak boughs, and other natural decora- 
tions, enlivened with the brilliant orange of the California poppy. 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 19 

Where the main and cross galleries formed a complete inclosure 
about the great central date-palm, there were laid along the railing 
large, odd-shaped branches of oak and manzanita, from which drooped 
long native mosses. On these branches at suitable distances were 
perched a half-dozen peacocks, brought from California, while among 
the twigs and mosses were numerous bear flags. Rising hence, the 
pillars of the dome were so decorated as to resemble growing palms, 
tufts of leafy bamboo, and. great bunches of pampas grass. Hanging 
from the windows of the roof-garden above, down into the rotunda, were 
a number of light baskets termed " air-castles," filled with palm leaves, 
eucalyptus in seed, and pampas plumes. The combined effect was so 
suggestive of the wildwood that during the summer birds sought to 
make homes in the moss-covered branches. 

Suspended from the beams that formed a portion of the frame of the 
building were a number of great baskets or Chinese fish-trays freighted 
with palms, California poppies, and a variety of semi-tropical growths. 
Garlands of evergreen leaves and branches were caught up here and 
there to the trusses at uneven heights; while potted plants and Califor- 
nia wildflowers were placed in unoccupied spaces and wherever they 
would be most effective. 

Perhaps the most striking feature of all in the decorative line was the 
gigantic date-palm tree in the middle of the building, directly under the 
dome. It was grow^n in Mission Valley, San Diego County, from a seed 
planted by Junipero Serra about the year 1770, and was therefore 123 
years old. This tree, undoubtedly the oldest and largest of its kind 
ever seen in this country outside of California and possibly Florida, 
stood about fifty feet high. With its root-attachments it weighed about 
45,000 pounds, and required two cars for its transportation to Chicago. 
It was however replanted so successfully that it soon began to put forth 
shoots and repair its disheveled crown with new verdure. In its place 
of honor it was inclosed in a triple-terraced basin of delicate pottery, 
a donation from Gladding, McBean & Co. of Placer County. Little 
jets of water were continually playing between the sections of the ter- 
race, lending not only beauty to the scene, but serving to keep moist the 
encircling ferns and callas. 

Under the center of the southern sky-roof was a grouping of palms, 
small orange and lemon trees, small redwoods, and miscellaneous trop- 
ical plants, resembling a conical embankment. 

Under the north sky-roof, on a pedestal covered with fan-palms and 
foliage plants, stood Rupert Schmid's majestic " Statue of California." 
The figure was that of a young girl, emblematic of the youth of the 
State, in the act of stepping forward, every trait well studied and each 
detail suggestive of the progressive commonwealth. Her silken robe, 
arranged in modern style, was decked with stars and various sea-plants 
found on the Pacific Coast; her waist, embroidered with calla lilies; her 
zone adorned with shells and the head of a sea-lion. In her right hand 
she held forth an olive-branch, emblem of peace, while her left clasped 
the American flag and a shield bearing the seal of the Golden State. 
Her hair, falling loosely as if stirred by zephyrs, was wreathed with 
blossoming corn and California poppies. Her face was bright and cheer- 
ful, the regular features typifying the beauty of the land she represented. 
A golden horse-shoe formed her necklace, and, as Queen of the Pacific, 
she wore above her liberty-cap a golden, jeweled diadem. At her feet 



20 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

lay a grizzly bear, the emblem of the State, and a profusion of wheat, 
grapes, and California fruits, symbolizing plenty. 

Other notable works of statuary were found elsewhere in the building. 
Near the east entrance was a large and uncommonly fine specimen of a 
stuffed grizzly bear, loaned by A. W. Morgan of San Francisco. Front- 
ing the State agricultural space was a puma or California lion, well 
mounted, loaned by E. M, Price of Calaveras County, while over the 
arched entrance to the San Francisco room was a beautiful sea-lion's 
head, contributed by C. H. Thompson of San Francisco. 

STATE FISH EXHIBIT. 

In entering the building through the wide eastern portals, the State 
fish exhibit was seen to occupy the wall space between the triple arches. 
It consisted of about fifty flexible casts of food-fishes of the State, admir- 
ably modeled, colored to the life, and mounted on separate wooden 
plaques, each one being labeled with the scientific and popular names of 
the species represented. They were so durable, withal, that after months 
of exposure to the persistent fingering of thoughtless visitors, they showed 
but little defacement. Prominent ichthyologists incline to the belief that 
models thus prepared will retain their shape, size, and color for decades, 
and even a century or more. 

Before deciding on this particular method of display, the Commission 
made a study of all known methods, especially of the different solutions 
claimed to retain the natural color of fish. After careful investigation 
and correspondence and some outlay in the line of experiments, they 
concluded to adopt the process used by the U. S. Fish Commission at 
Washington, D. C., and strongly recommended by the Chief of the Com- 
mission. President David Starr Jordan, of the Leland Stanford Jr. 
University, who has a world-wide reputation as a scientific ichthyologist, 
kindly proffered, without remuneration, his own services and those of 
Prof. Charles H. Gilbert, of the same university, in superintending the 
collection of the specimens and forwarding them to the maker, S. F. 
Denton, at Wellesley, Mass. The fish were collected from representa- 
tive waters of the State, such as Monterey, San Pedro, San Francisco 
Bay, Sacramento River, McCloud River, Lake Tahoe, etc., and included 
salmon, perch, mackerel, cod, surf-fish, carp, flounder, skate, drum-fish, 
bass, rock-fish, herring, sturgeon, smelt, shad, halibut, ray, queen-fish, 
Jew-fish, barracuda, trout, sea crawfish, etc. 

The cost of preparing the casts averaged about $20 each, and the total 
cost, including expenses incident to collection, packing, expressage in 
ice to Massachusetts, and return expressage to Chicago, about $35 a 
specimen. 

"the examiner" EXHIBIT. 

• 

Turning to the right, in making a circuit of the building, the first 
space northward (26^ by 9 feet) was occupied by the San Francisco 
"Examiner." Here were matrices and other technical articles showing 
the methods of printing a great daily newspaper, besides piles of the 
special "Columbian World's Fair" edition, issued in June, 1893; also 
regular issues of the paper for subscribers and visitors. 

The special edition comprised 124 pages, and was stated to be the largest 
paper ever printed. The pages were of the usual eight-column form, the 



REPORT OF WORLD'S FAIR COMMISSION. 21 

edition consisting of half a million copies. The first and last pages of 
the cover contained handsome colored lithographs, the former showing a 
female figure, typical of California, strewing roses broadcast and wel- 
coming visitors to the Golden Gate. Among special articles descriptive 
of California and her resources were the following: A history of the 
State, a description of the California missions, fruit growing in Cali- 
fornia, the raisin and wine industries, native flora, irrigation, and min- 
ing. Twenty pages were given to a description of the fifty-seven counties 
of the State. One exceedingly instructive feature was a full-page map 
of California, showing the areas especially adapted to horticulture, agri- 
culture, mining, and other industries. There were pages of literary 
articles by early and recent California authors, together with poems, 
songs, and stories by men and women recognized in their respective 
spheres. A page of winter scenes in California, depicting orange groves, 
gardens of roses, palm gardens, etc., in contrast to mountain scenes in 
the higher altitudes of the Sierra, showed the wide range of our climate 
and vegetation. Much space was given to telegraphic replies from a 
number of the most famous men of the world to the pertinent question, 
"What is the chief value of international expositions?" Governor 
Markham and other prominent men of this State contributed, by 
request, answers to the question, " Why I came to California and why 
I stay in California." There were pages devoted to the scenic charms 
of the State, including a careful description of the Yosemite Valley and 
all mountain and seaside resorts. The educational interests of the State 
were fittingly described. Other special articles, together with numerous 
illustrations, aided in making the edition one of great value. 

PLACER COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

To the north of the " Examiner" space was the Placer County exhibit, 
occupying an area about 80 feet long and 15^ feet wide, or a total of 
1,240 square feet. The pillars that supported the gallery were connected 
at the top by archways of delicate fret-work, giving the impression to 
one at a distance that the space was subdivided into three or four 
separate compartments. On the semi-circular faces of the arches were 
suspended rows of pine cones varying from the size of an egg to those of 
the sugar pine, twelve inches or more in length. Festoons of grains 
and grasses hung from the fret-work, while large glass cases, inclosing 
wheat, oats, barley, flax, corn, etc., in the sheaf and on the stalk, were 
placed against the sides of the pillars. There were also festoons of 
grains over and around the windows that commanded a view of the 
opposite buildings and grounds. 

There were eight tables, each 12 feet long, in the rectangular space, 
all placed crosswise, with aisles of convenient width between them, and 
an aisle running lengthwise near the windows. Two of the tables were 
higher than the others, having glass-paneled sides in which were ex- 
hibited threshed grains, etc. On all of the tables were terraced shelves 
of light material, supporting jars of fruit and vegetables. These jars 
were of all sorts and sizes, there being a few 38 inches long and 12 
inches in diameter. The larger ones were admirably utilized as recep- 
tacles for great branches of prunes,- pears, oranges, figs, grapes, and 
cherries, the fruit appearing as fresh and ripe as when on the trees. 



22 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

Several of the branches showed leaves, buds, and sometimes half-grown 
fruit, side by side with that fully ripe. 

Nearly every variety of orchard fruit grown in the State was repre- 
sented in this display. One exhibitor showed fourteen varieties of 
peaches; another a variety of grapes, of almost every known color — 
green, purple, golden, wine, and black; still another showed clusters of 
figs so compact as to resemble bunches of grapes. In general, the solu- 
tions used as preservatives proved successful in retaining the natural 
color of the fruits. The exhibits of dried fruits, sugar, and mountain 
honey were also meritorious. 

The showing of cereals was large, and included grain in bags, flour in 
commercial packages, also pulse and seeds in inverted bottles. One 
sheaf of wheat measured 7 feet 11 inches in height, and a sunflower 12 
feet. 

Of nuts there was an abundant supply, including almonds, chestnuts, 
pecans, hazlenuts, and three varieties of walnuts. B,ottled wines and 
brandies, raisins, olive oil, and pickled olives were shown in goodly 
quantities. The display of vegetables covered a wide range of these 
products, while collections of soils, native woods, minerals, and geolog- 
ical specimens did not fail to interest visitors. 

There was little attempt at artistic design in the installation of the 
different exhibits, the manager preferring, as he said, to depend on their 
solid merits. Desk room for the manager and assistants, and chairs for 
guests, besides pamphlets (for general distribution) descriptive of the 
resources of the county, were provided at the southern end of the area. 

Among several different silk banners that hung over the displays, was 
one reading: " Placer County, the Gateway of California." This was 
intended not so much to indicate that Placer is the first large fruit- 
producing county reached on entering California over the Central Pacific 
Railroad, but to impress upon visitors the fact that in many northern 
counties cherries, apricots, and even oranges, ripen from three to five 
weeks earlier than in the extreme southern counties, and that therefore 
their fruits can be marketed just so much earlier. From the first ripen- 
ing of deciduous fruits until the close of the Exposition, there were shown 
at Chicago, with practically no interruption, samples of fruit in season, 
including cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, prunes, plums, quinces, and 
grapes. 

In the Placer County exhibit, but caught mostly in the adjoining 
county of Nevada, was a very interesting collection of butterflies and 
night flies or moths. They were all well mounted and inclosed in two 
long glass frames which served as companion pieces. On the case con- 
taining sixteen hundred butterflies was inscribed in gold : " Day — In 
the Sierras," and on the one containing night flies, fourteen hundred or 
more in number : " Night — In the Sierras." The specimens were 
arranged in stars, circles, Maltese crosses, and other beautiful geometric 
figures, all combining to produce a fine effect. There were several speci- 
mens unknown to Eastern collectors, while a few were new to science. 
The insects were gathered and prepared by F. A. Shaefer, of Truckee. 

The total expense of collecting and maintaining the Placer County 
exhibit is officially given at $6,660, apportioned as follows: Appropri- 
ated by the County Board of Supervisors, $6,000; by individuals and 
firms, $660.

REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 23 

SHASTA COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

Shasta County occupied a space 20 by 15| feet just north of and 
adjoining the Placer exhibit. There was less attempt at decorative 
work here than in any other county display in the building, although 
the space above was covered with draperies in the national colors, while 
folds of stars and stripes hung from the posts and windows. 

The special feature of the exhibit was the large and varied specimens 
of gold ores. The heavier pieces of gold quartz were placed on the floor 
and served as a railing to keep visitors at a proper distance from the 
rest of the display. No other exhibit in the building, not even that of 
the State mineral collection, embraced such large specimens of ore. 
Terraced tables on three sides contained the smaller and more valuable 
minerals, including gold, silver, copper, iron, limestone, sandstone, 
asbestos, wall rock, terra cotta clay, etc. The managers of the exhibit 
held, that inasmuch as nearly one half of Shasta County is mineral 
land, the display should consist principally of minerals. 

A large table-top in the alcove, which consisted of simply one sugar- 
pine plank 6 feet 3 inches wide, attracted much attention. Arranged 
upon the partition wall to the south was an excellent showing of wheat 
and other grains in sheaf. 

During the summer the terraced tables were largely utilized for boxes 
of choice fruits, a very successful attempt having been made to keep on 
•exhibition fresh fruits in season. These included cherries, peaches, 
pears, apricots, apples, prunes, plums, etc. 

A total amount of $3,300 was expended in collecting and maintaining 
this exhibit, $3,000 having been appropriated by the Board of Super- 
visors and $300 by individuals and associations. 

PAMPAS PLUME PALACE. 

Just northeast of the central date-palm, near the junction of the 
two main aisles, stood a pleasing and novel exhibit in the shape of an 
octagonal pagoda 20 feet in diameter and 34 feet to the top of the dome. 
The sides of the octagon were alternately 10 and 7 feet in width, the 
east and west sides being used as entrances. The general design of the 
structure was suggestive of Moorish architecture, the leading features 
being drawn from the Alhambra. The wooden framework, both outside 
and inside, was entirely covered with rich pampas plumes in various 
designs and colors, giving a general appearance of what it was the 
intention to represent, a "Pampas Palace." 

The soft, silky plumes of the pampas grass were so tightly worked 
against the sides of the structure, and on the gently sloping roof and 
Moorish dome, that the effect was rich in the extreme. For the most 
part the plumes were left in their natural creamy tint, but a few in brill- 
iant dyes were used for decorative purposes. The fleur-de-lis and scroll 
work in plumes that adorned the frieze within and without, also the 
double Grecian key under the eaves, were artistic in design and execu- 
tion, while a successful efiort was elsewhere made in producing plush 
and fur-like effects. 

The exhibit as a whole was intended to illustrate what can be accom- 
plished with the novel flower of a South American plant, that thrives 
practically without cultivation in the counties of Southern California 



24 KEPORT OP world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

and farther north, in the way of striking effects in household decora- 
tions. The interior of the palace was delicately finished with pampas 
plumes in blue and gold. The American flag in colors and about 2 by 
3^ feet in size, rugs and other art features, all wrought in pampas 
plumes, were novel decorations. Among other attractive features were a 
painting, "A Pampas Harvest," by Miss Mabel Downing of San Fran- 
cisco, and a carved mantel made of Pacific Coast cedar by the Los 
Angeles Mantel Company. The floor was of unique construction, con- 
sisting of seventeen hundred pieces of diflerent California woods, being 
the work of the boys and girls of Throop Institute, Pasadena. 

This dainty edifice, which during the last days of the Exposition was 
christened ''Queen Isabella Pampas Palace," in honor of Queen Isabella,, 
who made it possible for Columbus to set out on his voyage of discovery, 
was designed by Mrs. H. W. R. Strong, of Whittier, Los Angeles County, 
and executed by herself and daughters. Mrs. Strong has met with de- 
served success in opening a market in the Eastern States and in Europe- 
for the products of this new California industry, she herself being a 
large grower. 

ALAMEDA COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

Northward from the Pampas Palace and almost adjoining it, was a 
floor space, 80 by 26 feet, that contained the Alameda County exhibit. 
This was divided into three nearly equal portions, the central one being 
devoted to the relief map (21 by 26 feet) of Alameda County, while the- 
two areas to the north and south were formed into partially open com- 
partments. Aisles of convenient width separated the subdivisions. 

The southern compartment was, with the exception of an opening to- 
the north, inclosed with a substantial cabinet base, about 2| feet high, 
of white sugar pine, with redwood panels. The installation features,, 
like those of nearly every State and county exhibit in the building, had 
been built in California and shipped in sections to Chicago. Upon the- 
wooden base were placed gas-piping pillars, with cross-sections of the- 
same material, all painted white. On top of the slender pillars was a 
cornice of native California woods, broad enough to support large jars 
of different products. The intervening three or four rows of shelves 
held the many hundred jars of fruits of Alameda County, an added 
effect being given to the display by using a light iron shelving instead 
of wood, so that from a distance there was little to be seen but rows of 
colored fruit apparently unsupported. The center of this compartment 
was occupied by the manager and assistants as an office, and also as a 
reading-room and resting-spot for visitors. Over the office entrance- 
hung the large painting by R. D. Yelland, " The Cities of the Golden 
Gate." At the corners of the inclosure were suspended banners giving 
the area and population of the count}^ together with the valuation of 
all property and the number of acres devoted to agriculture, horticult- 
ure, etc. 

The northern compartment was inclosed like the southern, except that 
the corners, instead of being square, were concave, bending slightly 
inward. Within stood terraced pyramids that held, in cylinder jars, 
the exhibits of the Alameda Sugar Company, the Oakland Fruit Pre- 
serving Company, and the Oakland Pickle Factory, while at other points 
could be seen borax from the Pacific Coast Borax Company, of Alameda,, 
crude and refined salt from the Solar Salt Works of B. F. Barton & Co.«

REPOET OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 25 

near Alvarado, and salt from the Union Pacific Salt Works at Mount 
Eden. There were also dried fruits, ripe fruits in season, fruits in fluid, 
cereals, wine, minerals, silk, nuts, vegetables, etc. Both compartments 
were decorated with wild oats seven or more feet high, and other grains in 
sheaf; also with stalks of ramie and with grapevines. Heads of mountain 
sheep and deer, together with native-wood panels, on which Miss K. E. 
Cole, of Oakland, had painted sprays and bunches of wildfiowers, hung 
over the two entrances to the north area, and from the different friezes. 
For this combined display, and for the State collective exhibits in the 
California and Horticultural Buildings, between one thousand and 
eleven hundred jars of fruit, mostly of the cylinder and Egyptian styles, 
were forwarded to Chicago. 

The relief map in the center space was inclosed by curtains hung froln 
railings of convenient height for visitors to secure a full view of the 
panoramic effect. The map was designed by Wm. R. Davis, of Oakland, 
and made by E. E. Eitel, of San Francisco. All the principal features 
and configurations of the county were represented, including cities, 
villages, valleys, hills, public institutions, orchards, farms, railway 
lines, steam, cable, and electric cars, ferry slips used by San Francisco 
steamers ; also a portion of the bay of San Francisco, with its indenta- 
tions along the Alameda County shore. The space that formed the bay 
was made water-tight, and upon the water poured therein were miniature 
ocean ships, steamers, boats, and tugs. It was at first intended to have 
the important railroad, street car, and ferry lines in operation, moving 
automatically across the panorama on schedule time, but after reaching 
Chicago it was found impossible to carry this part of the plan into effect. 

On the west side of the relief map, and fronting the main aisle of the 
building, was an attractive fruit archway. The two pillars, which con- 
sisted of cylinder glass jars 9 inches in diameter, were each 6 feet high 
above their bases and were joined at the top by an arch of native woods, 
upon which were placed jars of handsome fruit. The cylinders that 
formed the pillars were filled with nearly seventy varieties of fruits and 
vegetables, the preservative fluids being so clear as to show their con- 
tents to great advantage. 

A souvenir illustrated pamphlet, descriptive of the products and 
resources of Alameda County, had been prepared under the auspices 
of the Alameda County World's Fair Association, and an issue of 
30,000 copies printed. These were distributed freely to such visitors as 
manifested an interest in California, and especially in this county. The 
amount of money appropriated by the Board of Supervisors and ex- 
pended on this exhibit is officially given at $35,000. 

SAN MATEO COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

San Mateo County occupied a space 25^ by 26^ feet just north of 
Alameda County, being separated from the latter by an aisle. The 
installation feature was a stately pillared temple more than 20 feet high, 
the top reaching slightly above the floor of the gaRery. 

The structure was large enough to cover the entire space allotted, the 
ground plan being somewhat in the shape of a horseshoe with the heel 
placed toward the west, in order to have it front on the main or center 
aisle. The design was Tuscan, somewhat modified in style. Fourteen 
grand columns of solid redwood, kiln-dried and turned smooth, upheld 



26 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

the circular entablature, which was richly paneled and ornamented with 
delicate cornice work. The pedestals that supported the columns were 
about 4 feet high and were formed of curly redwood, smoothed and 
polished, while the columns themselves were about 12 feet high, the 
bases and tops being richly carved. Over the doorway appeared the 
words " San Mateo County," carved in redwood. 

In accordance with the original design the structure was at first cov- 
ered ■with a rounded roof or dome made from bark of California redwood. 
Although the dome was beautiful in itself, it proved so objectionable on 
account of its height, compared with other installation features, that at 
the request of the Commission, the managers of the exhibit permitted its 
removal. In lieu of the roof the circular top was covered with rare and 
beautiful potted plants from San Mateo County. The pavilion as a 
whole was built in California and then shipped to Chicago to be set up. 

In the middle of the floor of the temple was a section of a large red- 
wood tree that formed a base for a small greenery. Upon this was 
built a circular terrace of potted plants and palms brought from San 
Mateo County. A substantial circling base nearly 8 feet high served as 
an inclosure to the room, giving the interior a cozy, home-like appear- 
ance, and at the same time afforded wall space, which Avas splendidly 
utilized for displays of photographs of local scenery, especially of the 
beautiful homes for which San Mateo County is noted. Projecting 
brackets about four feet above the floor upheld a wide circular shelf 
of redwood, upon which were placed paintings of wildflowers, wood 
carvings, stuffed birds, pressed wildflowers, sea-mosses or algse, and a case 
of pebbles. A novel feature was a model of Pigeon Point Lighthouse on 
the coast of San Mateo County, the model being 3 feet high and covered 
with the delicately hued pebbles from Pescadero Beach. 

The entire exhibit was under the management of an association of 
ladies of the county, by whom it was not only designed and prepared, 
but maintained while at Chicago. The Board of Supervisors appropri- 
ated $3,000 toward defraying general expenses, the necessary balance 
being raised by the ladies' board. 

SACRAMENTO COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

Immediately to the north and adjoining the San Mateo County 
exhibit stood a pavilion that held the major portion of the Sacramento 
County display. This pavilion, which appeared massive in design and 
construction, covered a space 25^ by 26^ feet and fronted broad aisles 
on the east, north, and west sides. There were arched entrances 20 feet 
high from each of these sides to the interior, which formed an inviting 
reception-room, with chairs, table, general reading matter, and folders 
descriptive of the county and its resources, at easy reach. 

The pavilion as a whole was intended to represent a castle, the but- 
tressed angles, deep recesses, large pillars, and square-shaped turrets all 
being in harmony with the general design. On the ten recessed col- 
umns, which were 16. feet high and 2^ feet square, were placed jellies 
and the smaller jars of fruit. Three sides of each column were made 
available for display purposes, and as each side was divided into eight 
shelves, the ten columns alone furnished 240 shelves. At the back and 
sides of all this display space were glass mirrors, so placed as to redouble

the reflection of light from the fruits and show to the best advantage 
their purity and color. 

Running from the four outer and projecting columns to the columns 
that supported the archways, were other rows of shelving of such heights 
between them as to permit a pleasing arrangement of jars, bottles, etc., 
of different patterns and sizes. The jars that held the fruit numbered 
l>etween eight hundred and one thousand, and varied in height from 3 
inches to 3^ feet, and from 2 inches to 2 feet in diameter. From any 
point of the three aisles and from the interior of the pavilion visitors 
were afforded a view of an almost solid mass of fruits and jellies. 

The caps of the arches, to a height on a level with, and even above, 
the galleiy, were crowned with generous sheaves of grain, while large 
oentury plants, set in redwood vases, stood upon each of the four outer 
•columns. Hanging from the centers of the arches were silken banners 
bearing the name of the county from which the display came, while 
another banner stated that the exhibit as a whole was awarded the first 
premium for the most extensive and varied county exhibit at the Pre- 
liminary World's Fair Exhibit in San Francisco early in 1893, said 
premium being $1,000 in cash. Other cash premiums were secured at 
this fair aggregating $1,300 more. 

Across the aisle to the north and under the gallery was a space nearly 
equal in area to that covered by the pavilion. Here agricultural products 
constituted the special feature, as horticulture did in the pavilion. The 
walls of the alcove were lined with grain on the stalk, alfalfa, broom- 
corn, etc., alternately bound in sheaves and spread full length in ver- 
tical glazed panels. The background was filled in with graceful tufts 
of grass and tall Egyptian corn, while high over all were various designs 
in grain and grass heads, such as fans, a plow, and an anchor. Many 
jars of different seeds, with labeled boards and smaller specimens of 
native woods, were arranged upon the terraced stands below. In the 
hollow square were two tables with tent-shaped tops, each sloping up 
to a vase-crested ridge. On their inclines lay triple rows of boxes, 
wherein were to be seen, under glass, beautiful dried fruits and nuts in 
great variety. In the combined displays was an exceedingly wide range of 
products, such as wheat, flour, bran, middlings, barley, oats, buckwheat, 
alfalfa, Egyptian corn, broomcorn, peaches, pears, apricots, olives, apples, 
plums, prunes, quinces, figs, grapes — all fruits being both dried and in 
solution; jellies, oranges, lemons, pomegranates, persimmons, mulberries, 
crabapples, strawberries, etc.; also walnuts, almonds, raisins, squashes, 
egg plant, beets, beans, peas, tomatoes, wool, wood, and minerals. 

During the months when the different fruits were in season there were 
displayed excellent specimens of fresh cherries, strawberries, peaches, 
apricots, prunes, etc., together with grains and vegetables. 

The estimated cost of the entire Sacramento County exhibit is approx- 
imately as follows: Expended under appropriation by Board of Super- 
visors, $5,500; from sale of membership certificates and net receipts 
from premiums at Preliminary Exhibit, $G80; making a total of $6,180. 

STATE RELIEF MAP. 

The great relief map of California, 9 by 20 feet in size, occupied the 
middle wall-space at the north end of the building, between Sacramento 
and Butte Counties. It was planned and modeled by Willard D. .lohn-

son, Topographer of the U. S. Geological Survey, with headquarters in 
California. Not only was the State as a whole depicted, but the out- 
lying waters of the Pacific Ocean and sufficient portions of Oregon, 
Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico, to show the adjoining configurations. 
The horizontal scale was four miles to the inch, with a vertical exagger- 
ation of one mile to the inch. 

The map was constructed from data obtained from the latest United 
States and other surveys; and it was conceded at Chicago that no other 
map in the entire Exposition showed such accurate detail and finish. 
Work on it was begun in May, 1892, and several men were employed 
almost constantly until it was finally ready for public inspection more 
than a year later. Originally it was cast in eight equal parts, but so 
nice was the adjustment that when set up in Chicago the edges became 
invisible. As far as was possible in a work of this magnitude the water 
bodies, marshes, swamp lands, and streams to head of navigation were 
painted a light blue; streams above head of navigation, canals, and 
large irrigation ditches, dark blue. The valleys, mountains, forested 
and barren lands were painted in such subdued tints as to show clearly 
their different characters. Even degree meridians and parallels. State 
and county boundaries, railroads, cities, and other settlements of suffi- 
cient size for postal recognition, were indicated in black. To render 
inspection easier, the map was set upon its longer edge, this arrange- 
ment bringing the northern portion of the State to the right hand of the 
spectator. The map proved highly interesting and instructive to visitors. 

Near at hand was an excellent relief map, 4 by 2| feet, of the Yosemite 
Valley, modeled by Edwin E. Howell, and constructed at Ward's 
Natural Science establishment, Rochester, N. Y. 

BUTTE COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

Butte County improved to the utmost her allotment of 920 square feet 
in the northwest corner of the building. There were two spaces, 20 by 
18 and 20 by 28, respectively. In the former, situated under the north 
gallery, between two hundred and three hundred glazed boxes of uniform 
size, packed with choice dried fruits and a sprinkling of nuts and cotton 
bolls, were built up against the wall into the semblance of two towers, 
resting on purple pedestals with ornamental designs in sections of ears 
of corn. All the boxes had glass fronts and were secured to the wall by 
invisible screws. 

Between these towers was an arrangement of shelves and niches, 
appearing like a Gothic window, and filled with cylinder jars of showy 
fruits, chiefly stone and citrus, with lesser jars of vari-colored jellies 
interspersed by way of trimmings. The efi'ect was heightened by strips 
of gilding that marked the edges of the boxes, which latter were set like 
blocks of stone in an edifice. 

On tables in front of this structure were stacked nuts, pulse, and 
cereals in inverted bottles; canned goods from Chico, and more fruits in 
preservative solutions, retaining their color to a remarkable degree. 
There was also a small relief map of the county that clearly showed the 
location of hills, mountains, valleys, rivers, and principal towns. Hang- 
ings of pampas grass and headed grain relieved the rude angularity of 
posts and beams above, and even the canvas ceiling was gay with 
painted blossoms and winged creatures. 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 29 

The longer space under the western gallery was separated from the 
aisle by a wall of glazed and gilt-edged boxes, like those constituting 
the towers already mentioned, but the latter boxes were filled with 
cereals and seeds, save where two large cases of silk cocoons took the 
place of windows. Crystal tubes of seeds, in contrasted shades, formed 
the columns of the alcove portal, the transparent doors of which were 
still more curiously paneled with parallelograms and diamonds of black 
beans, white dhoura, brown buckwheat, and yellow corn. The angles 
and cornices of this partition were trimmed with inverted bottles of 
seeds in variety, and the partition itself was topped with a large bald 
eagle and two jjears, composed of wheat heads in different colors. 

Within this room were shown upon the walls about one hundred and 
thirty varieties of grains in sheaf; while at either end were marvelously 
ingenious mosaics of colored seeds and cocoons: one depicting an Indian 
girl feeding a pair of pet eagles; another a winged Ceres, or goddess of 
the harvest, with two attendants; also ducks in a pond, storks, horses' 
heads, an owl, etc., together with vases of fruits and flowers. Pampas 
grass and heads of millet were skillfully employed in pluming the wild 
fowl that spread their wings or sailed among the pond lilies overhead. 
Here, too, were many photographs of Butte County scenery, with views 
of orchards, vineyards, etc., and an herbarium from the State Normal 
School at Chico. 

Taken as a whole the display was an exceedingly varied one, especially 
in the line of agricultural and horticultural products. For instance, 
one farm — that of General John Bidwell, near Chico — furnished the 
following exhibits: Sixty-five varieties of wheat, twenty-eight of barley, 
ten of oats, and six each of rye, corn, flax, and spelt; eighteen varieties 
of almonds, six of walnuts, four of chestnuts, together with peanuts, 
raisins, threshed grain and seeds, fruits in solution, such as peaches, 
pears, apricots, apples, plums, prunes, and pomegranates. Mrs. Anna 
K. Bidwell also contributed eighteen varieties of barley, and an almost 
equal variety of oats, rye, and flax. The display made by the manager 
of the exhibit was also varied, the mosaic work in cereals being his 
design. 

In a cosy corner of the larger space was a small ofiice and reception- 
room, a book for registration, and folders describing the resources of 
the county. 

An appropriation of $5,300 was made by the County Board of Super- 
visors to defray the expense of collecting and maintaining this exhibit, 
while $700 was contributed by firms and individuals, making a total of 
$6,000. 

HUMBOLDT COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

Out from under the gallery, in the extreme northwest corner of the 
building, Humboldt County filled a floor space of 52 by 26 feet, or an 
area of 1,352 square feet, with an unique display, which had more of a 
wildwood air about' it than any other in the building, being suggestive 
of the forest, the mountain slope, and the glen, with deer, bear, and 
other wild animals therein. At the same time the products of the 
county were V^y no means unrepresented. The exhibit was separated 
from its nearest neighbors by aisles — Sacramento and San Mateo being 
to the east, Santa Clara to the south, the State agricultural exhibit to 
the west, and Butte County to the west and north. 



30 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

The entire collection from Humboldt County was surrounded by an 
elaborate inclosure of polished redwood, in itself a fine display, built of 
fancy shingled panels up to a height of 4 feet. At distances of about 10' 
feet apart, rose light and neatly turned columns, which upheld an oddly 
ornate entablature of redwood, with the words " Humboldt County 
Exhibit " appearing in fret-work and extending entirely across each end. 
Upon the inner frieze were hung aloft about twenty pairs of antlers, rep- 
resenting nearly every species of deer and elk, also Rocky Mountain 
sheep from the northern part of the State. Between the mounted antlers 
were Indian bows and arrows, spears, war clubs, and saddles, all used 
with excellent decorative efiect. 

Access to the inclosure was had from the north and east ends, the aisle 
between these points dividing the exhibit space irregularly. Entering 
from the north, the first feature that caught the eye to the right was a 
wedge-shaped structure about 8 feet high and 12 feet long, set on end. 
A broad band of redwood panels girthed the base, while above was a row 
of photographic scenes among the forests and lumber camps of Humboldt 
County. Still above was a line of handsome panels, comprising the 
lighter colored woods, such as white cedar, white oak, and Douglas fir, 
and above these still another row of photographs. Capping the top or 
ridge were a number of bottles of Humboldt County mineral water and 
three large redwood vases filled with bouquets of grains and grasses. 
To the left a terraced pyramid held on its lower steps crystal jars of 
fruits and vegetables, with inverted bottles of barley, oats, peas, beans, 
etc., and a line of dainty cylinders of amber and ruby jellies on the 
higher steps. 

In the southwest corner, irregularly fortified behind short sections of 
logs from native forest trees, was an imitation " rockery " that attracted 
much attention. There was a mound of mimic rocks, set with patches 
of real moss and tufts of genuine ferns and native shrubbery. Beneath 
was a good-sized cave, and at the mouth, stuffed specimens of Humboldt 
County's fauna peered forth, the most prominent being a huge stuffed 
grizzly bear. Indian baskets, shells, wood specimens, photographs, etc.,. 
were thrown lightly down upon the moss at the base of the rockery. 

Elsewhere within the inclosure was a variety of displays, such as a 
section of a redwood tree 16 feet in diameter; a splendid board of red- 
wood burl 8 by 4 feet; a cabinet of burl and laurel woods; an interesting 
cabinet of minerals; samples of leather and leather work; a miniature 
museum of curios and Indian relics; a glass case containing a garland 
of flowers formed of shells; vases, urns, plates, knives, forks, etc., made 
from native woods; elkhorn and whalebone chairs; specimens of large 
and small fish in alcohol, also sun-dried specimens; vegetables of unusual 
size in jars of clear preservative solutions; grain in the sheaf, and seed; 
wool and other commodities. 

The manager of the exhibit devoted much of her time to giving short 
talks or semi-lectures to visitors on the different . features displayed, 
especially those relating to the early Indian tribes, their habits, history, 
etc., together with curios in general, and facts bearing upon the value of 
the forests of Humboldt County. Newspapers and other descriptive 
literature were distributed. 

The county Board of Supervisors appropriated for the preparation 
and maintenance of the display, $5,000; firms and individuals, $500* 
making a total of $5,500.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

Broad counters of redwood, 3^ feet high, inclosed the space 80 feet 
long and 26 feet wide, or an area of 2,080 square feet, that was devoted 
to the excellent exhibit from Santa Clara County. Openings were left 
at each end and side for visitors to pass in and out, while at the southern 
end free access was had to the State viticultural exhibit. All these 
entrances were spanned by redwood arches, with step-like tops, which 
sustained inverted bottles of cereals, pulse, and other seeds. 

Stacked on the short northern counter were canned fruits in both 
glass and tin, while in the middle of the counter, separating the canned 
Exhibits, stood a circular pyramid containing twelve or more shelves 
rising one above the other. Upon the shelves were arranged translu- 
cent jellies of different colors, made from a variety of fruits, by the 
different Woman's World's Fair Auxiliary Societies in Santa Clara 
County. Southward, and separated from it by an aisle, was an almost 
massive pyramid. It was nearly square, contained eight wide terraced- 
shelves, the entire structure being painted white. Upon the shelves 
there were arranged, with excellent taste, glass jars with fruits in solu- 
tion, the preservative fluids being of the best and having the effect of 
retaining the natural color of the fruit to a remarkable degree. The 
jars were so placed that the tall, slender ones alternated with those- 
of the globular shape, thus heightening the effect. Here, for instance, 
were orange clusters a yard in length, olive branches loaded with berries, 
twigs of almonds in the husk, and cucumbers, a single one of which 
well nigh filled a two-foot cylinder. Four very tall jars capped the 
pyramid, while perched still above these, upon a slight standard, was 
a California eagle with outstretched wings. 

In the middle of the inclosure and separated from other exhibit feat- 
ures by aisles, stood the widely known " Prune Horse," his knightly 
rider — mailed cap-a-pie with the desiccated products of Santa Clara 
orchards — being mounted thereon. First on the floor was placed a 
massive-looking pedestal, the sides of which, in gentle upward slopes, 
were embanked with dried fruits in both neatly glazed frames and in 
ordinary commercial boxes. Upon the smaller pedestal that upheld 
•,he horse, appeared in large letters the following: " In 1891, Santa Clara 
Oounty, California, produced 20,000,000 pounds of prunes; balance of 
the United States, 9,000,000 pounds." Upon this pedestal proper, stood 
the life-sized figure of the horse, surmounted by a man clad in armor as 
the knights of old, the entire surface of both horse and rider being covered 
with French and Silver prunes in dark and light colors. The horse was 
bridled and saddled, and had one fore foot and one hind foot upraised 
in an easy attitude of walking. Probably no single feature of the Cali- 
fornia Building attracted more general notice than did this "Prune 
Horse." 

Still southward, and separated from other exhibits by aisles, was a 
partially curtained inclosure that constituted the office of the manager 
and lady manager, and also a reception-room. The upper portion was 
surrounded both inside and out with specimens of pressed wildflowers 
and plants to the number of two hundred, all being under plates of 
transparent celluloid. There were also a large number of photographs 
of scenery in Santa Clara County, together with striking photographs 
on glass of different exterior and interior views of Lick Observatory, on

Mount Hamilton. For distribution to prominent visitors and others 
who manifested an interest in the county, there were on hand copies of 
an excellent publication, which was denominated "An Illustrated State- 
ment of the Progress, Prosperity, and Resources of Santa Clara County, 
California." It was a pamphlet about 7 by 10| inches in size, and con- 
tained upwards of eighty pages. The first page of every leaf was given 
to descriptive matter and the opposite page to illustrations of vineyards, 
orchards, public buildings, parks, churches, school-houses, business 
houses and blocks, residences, and bird's-eye views of San Jose, Los 
Gatos, and other cities and towns in the county. 

At the extreme southern end of the inclosure was a tall conical stand 
of bottled wines from Santa Clara County, all mounted on a substantial 
looking base of wine casks. The tiers rose upward to a height of about 
20 feet, terminating at a point just underneath the gallery. There were 
several hundred bottles of wine of numerous varieties and of difl'erent 
ages from the many vineyards in the county. On the archway that 
separated the general exhibit from the viticultural display were inverted 
bottles containing seeds, wheat, and other cereals. 

Upon the long counters that formed the eastern inclosure of the dis- 
play were placed a number of assorted jars of fruit, but the space was 
largely given to showcases containing dried and glared fruits and 
painted china. Here, too, was a small mineral exhibit from the Quick- 
silver Mining Company of New Almaden, with a prospectus of the mines 
drawn on twenty-six parallel sheets of glass and an iron flask-stopple 
afloat in a bath of quicksilver. 

With the exception of an entrance near the middle, the entire 80 feet 
of the western inclosure was built up from the base with rows of jarred 
fruits. The jars were so nearly uniform in size as to give a general 
appearance of long rows of miniature men drawn up in martial array. 
Plates of ripe fruits in season were displayed on the different counters 
and elsewhere in the inclosure during the greater portion of the Exposi- 
tion. 

The entire expense of collecting and maintaining this exhibit is 
officially given as follows: Appropriated by County Board of Super- 
visors, $28,000; contributed by individuals and firms, $1,000; total, 
$29,000. 

STATE AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT. 

As in the Horticultural, Mining, and other departments, nearly dupli- 
cate exhibits of California's agricultural products were made in the 
California and in the Agricultural Buildings. In the former, the State 
agricultural exhibit occupied a space about 100 feet long and 18 feet wide 
on the west side of the lower floor, the Butte County exhibit being to the 
north, and that of horticulture and viticulture to the south. On a por- 
tion of the space large glass inclosures were built, reaching to the gallery. 
Within these were placed pyramidic forms, entirely covered with green 
felt cloth and with neat white shelves arranged thereon at convenient 
distances. Over fifteen hundred pear-shaped inverted globes and bottles 
of different sizes, filled with cereals and soils of various kinds, were 
artistically set upon the shelves, the whole presenting an attractive 
appearance. Running along the wall beneath the windows was a wide 
table stacked with sheaves of wheat, oats, rye, and barley, and with 
vegetables of different sizes and varieties. 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 33 

The San Francisco Produce Exchange was the largest contributor to 
this department. Two beautiful cases, well filled with products, were 
furnished. One case was of polished redwood, with a base about 4 feet 
high, upon which rested a pyramid holding nearly every variety of 
cereals and fibers grown in California. This splendid collection com- 
prised four varieties of oats, fifteen of barley, seventeen of wheat, two 
of buckwheat, eight of corn, ten of peas, and thirty of beans, besides 
Egyptian corn, broomcorn, maize, sorghum, farina, cracked wheat, rolled 
oats and barley, semol^,, graham flour, oat groats, oatmeal, hominy, 
split peas; canary, flax, rape, alfalfa, mustard, millet, coriander, and 
hemp seed; hops, ramie, silk cocoons and raw silk, grades of cotton and 
wool; also, a fine display of wheat, oats, and barley in sheaf from the 
crop of 1893. The other case was a cabinet of black walnut, within 
which were placed on shelves inverted globes filled with various kinds of 
wheat, set off by a delicate green background. 

Besides this exhibit the Produce Exchange furnished seven silk ban- 
ners, prettily lettered in gilt upon a dark garnet ground and bordered 
with long golden fringe. The largest banner was about 15 feet long, and 
bore this inscription: "San Francisco Produce Exchange — Products of 
California." The other six were smaller, but of uniform size, and con- 
tained a clear statement in brief of the agricultural products of the 
State. Comparative figures were given for the years 1879 and 1892, the 
former year being chosen, as it marked the beginning of a new era in 
agriculture and horticulture. The lettering upon the banners gave the 
following valuable information: 

Wheat— Crop 1879, 33,500,000 bushels; crop 1892, 40,000,000 bushels. Export 1879— 
"Wheat, 16,660,000 bushels ; flour, 527,440 barrels. Export 1892— Wheat, 21,400,000 bushels ; 
flour, 1,056,000 barrels. 

Wines— Vintage 1879, 7,000,000 gallons; 1891, 20,000,000 gallons. Brandies— Product 
1879, 158,393 gallons ; 1892, 1,475,525 gallons. 

Barley — Largest production of any State in the Union. Crop 1879, 11,000,000 bushels ; 
1892, 15,000,000 bushels. 

Hops— Crop 1879, 1,335,700 pounds; 1892, 7,500,000 pounds. 

Wool— Production 1879, 46,903,360 pounds ; ls91, 33,200,000 pounds. 

Raisins— Pack 1879, 65,000 boxes ; 1891, 2,150,000 boxes. 

Dried fruit-Product 1884, 5,285,000 pounds; 1891, 63,710,000 pounds. 

Oreen fruit— Shipments overland, 1879, 3,126,140 pounds ; 1891, 98,680,000 pounds. 

Canned fruit— Pack 1879, 298,356 cases ; 1891, 1,460,000 cases. 

In addition to generous contributions to this department of wheat, 
rye, oats, and barley from the manager of the Butte County exhibit. 
General John Bidwell, of Chico, furnished some very fine samples of 
cereals, embracing sixty-five varieties of wheat, twelve of barley, five of 
oats, and four of rye. 

San Luis Obispo County sent a greater diversity of products than any 
other county, the exhibit consisting of beans, peas, corn, wheat, rye, 
barley, oats, onions, buckwheat flour, corn meal, cracked wheat, shorts, 
middlings, rolled oats and wheat, breakfast food, semola, rice, alfalfa 
seed, walnuts, flax, ramie, jute, yxtle, soils, and a variety of small seeds. 
This collection was prepared and forwarded by J. V. N. Young, of 
Arroyo Grande. 

Los Angeles County made a fine showing of wheat, barley, corn, oats, 
rye, beans, walnuts, onions, squashes, potatoes, beets, etc. 

Ventura County forwarded twenty-five varieties of beans, also several 
kinds of wheat, corn, oats, barley, nuts, and potato starch. 

A very creditable exhibit was received from Merced County, including 

3w 



34 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

wheat, barley, rye, oats, beans, corn, cotton, tobacco, walnuts, peanuts, 
almonds, Egyptian corn, alfalfa, and various grasses. 

Other counties contributed as follows: Sacramento — six varieties of 
wheat, four of barley, two of rye, and three of oats; Santa Clara — collec- 
tion of two hundred varieties of seeds; Alameda — three varieties of choice 
barley, and the same of wheat; Sutter — choice selection of wheat, oats, 
and barley; El Dorado — samples of very fine rye; Orange County — 
walnuts and peanuts; San Diego — samples of wheat, barley, and oats; 
Kern — miscellaneous cereals. 

The University of California, through Prof. E, W. Hilgard, loaned 
three hundred varieties of grains — wheat, barley, rye, oats, flax, alfalfa, 
clover, and numerous fine grasses. These samples were all of the best 
quality, and the tastily disposed sheaves of cereals and forage-plants, 
with a neat array of phials, to show the results of the threshing, consti- 
tuted one of the finest displays in the State exhibit. 

Taken as a whole, the State agricultural exhibit was a comprehensive 
one, and fairly represented the agricultural products of California. 

STATE VITICULTURAL EXHIBIT. 

Excepting a small portion of the southeast corner, which was included 
in the rotunda, the State viticultural exhibit occupied a space 29 by 26-| 
feet in the State building. The location was an excellent one, being 
near the center of the building and fronting the two main aisles of the 
lower floor on the east and south sides. The actual area occupied by 
the exhibit was 619 square feet. 

The principal entrance was from the rotunda, the two wings being 
guarded by plaster casts of California bears, designed and modeled by 
Rupert Schmid, of San Francisco. The two bears, which were life 
size, stood upon pedestals nearly 3 feet high, the sides of each pedestal 
being festooned with casts of vines loaded with grapes. Just within the 
gateway were four urns placed higher than one's head, filled as if to 
overflowing with bronzed clusters of grapes. 

In the center of the inclosure stood an octagon pyramid about 10 feet 
in diameter at its base, rising upward in terraced shelves to a height of 
12 or 14 feet. Upon these shelves were represented the vintages of Cali- 
fornia wine growers and producers. There were dark and light colored 
wines, champagnes, brandies, etc., to the number of six hundred bottles, 
fifty-three exhibitors displaying three hundred and one varieties of 
wines, and thirty-three distinct types. 

A small square base rested upon the top of the pyramid and upheld a 
beautiful plaster cast of Hebe, who, in classic mythology, was the cup- 
bearer of Jupiter. She was represented as a typical California girl, 
standing erect with garlands of grapes entwined around her head and 
a bunch of grapes in her left hand, which was pressed lightly against 
her shoulder, while in her right hand, lifted gracefully upward, was a 
tiny goblet. 

On three sides of the exhibit were high partition-walls of open grill- 
work, built in California of native redwood, and lined with bottled 
wines. Up among the braces under the edge of the cross gallery were 
two gnarly grapevines of the Black Prince variety, that were forwarded 
from the vineyard of George West & Son, and were stated to be forty- 
one years old. Paintings of vineyard scenes hung against the walls. 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 35 

A short distance from the exhibit proper was the office of the Super- 
intendent of Viticulture, where interested visitors could find viticultural 
literature and wines for sampling purposes, and secure any specific 
information desired. As a whole the exhibit was productive of excel- 
lent results in that it brought California wines to more prominent 
notice than ever before, and in demonstrating to the general public the 
superiority of these wines. 

The official report of the Superintendent of this department states 
that there were received from fifty-three exhibitors 2,545 cases of wine, 
or 44,278 bottles, about one third being quarts and the balance pints. 
The disposition made of the wine was as follows: For use of jurors in 
sampling wines for award, 1,834 bottles; sold to the Cafe on roof garden 
of the building and used for samples, 27,739 bottles. Notwithstanding 
the fact that the Cafe was not opened until June 1st, there was sold 
therein nearly 1,000 bottles a week for the entire six months of the 
Exposition. The gross cash receipts from sales were $11,529. Of this 
amount 15,396 was paid for percentage to the Exposition and Cafe, and 
for incidental expenses, leaving a sum of $6,133 as net receipts to 
exhibitors. A total of 10,037 bottles of the original number forwarded 
to Chicago were turned over to the exhibitors after the close of the fair, 
nearly the entire consignment being left with agents in Chicago for sale, 
4,668 bottles having been delivered to owners and other exhibits during 
the Exposition. 

SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

The space allotted to the exhibit from the City and County of San 
Francisco was 53 feet long and 27 feet wide, and contained about 1,300 
square feet, the circle surrounding the fountain in the center of the 
building cutting off the northeast corner. The space was subdivided 
into two compartments, with an aisle between; the southern portion 
being occupied by a relief map of San Francisco, the northern portion 
by the exhibit of the San Francisco Woman's Committee. 

The relief map proper was combined with a panorama. The inclosure 
was raised above the floor, forming a circular railing 27 feet in diame- 
ter, 84 feet in circumference, and between 5 and 6 feet high, the frame 
consisting of heavy redwood boards bolted to cylinder ribs or beams. 
The map inside the cylinder was sunk a foot or more below the surface 
of the floor. It was constructed in San Francisco under the supervision 
of Willard D. Johnson, in cha-rge of the United States Geological Survey 
of the Pacific Coast, and was taken to Chicago in sections. The point 
of view chosen, and the one at which the visitor was supposed to stand 
in looking down upon the city, was at the intersection of Geary and 
Jones Streets, or practically that of Union Square, and 1,800 feet above 
the ground, this view commanding a sweep of San Francisco and its 
surroundings for fifty miles in every direction. The actual boundaries 
of the map, understood by residents of the city, were North Point, Six- 
teenth Street, the cemeteries, and 500 feet into the bay beyond Rincon 
Point. Blocks and streets were drawn to a scale that well preserved 
the proportions, each block occupying a space about one foot square, 
the streets between being one and three fourths inches wide. The 
principal buildings of the city, the stucco models of the smaller build- 
ings and blocks, and the topographical contours were faithfully repre- 
sented. At the boundary lines of the relief map proper, and extending

around the walls of the cylinder, was stretched a canvas 5 feet 3 inches 
in height, upon which were painted the outlying portions of the city, 
San Francisco Bay with its islands and harbors, the Golden Gate, the 
ocean, and neighboring hills and mountains. 

The northern compartment, an irregular octagon 20 by 26 feet in size, 
was known as the San Francisco Woman's Room. Panels of redwood, 
carved and fire-etched, formed a continuous screen inclosing the space, 
the panels being 6 feet high and corresponding to alcoves in ordinary 
structures. Entrance to the room was had through two gates of impos- 
ing aspect, and under an archway of redwood on which appeared the 
words "Art, Literature, Music, Industry," being typical of the City of 
San Francisco. The gate proper consisted of two leaves or doors, each 
leaf being 4 feet wide and 6 feet high. These doors were covered with 
illuminated and fire-etched leather, all in dull copper tints, one gate 
being decorated with the fruit, leaves, and branches of the olive, the 
other with clusters of grapes. The redwood was contributed by Mrs. 
J. M. Pierce, the room itself designed by Edmund Russell, and the 
art work executed by Miss Lillian O'Hara and Miss Grace Livermore, 
of San Francisco, who have made a specialty of pyrogravure, or the 
process of engraving on wood and leather by the use of red-hot metallic 
points. One panel contained a collection of musical instruments, 
such as San Francisco has either inherited or become familiar with 
through association, including Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian, and Samoan 
instruments, Indian and Samoan war drums, etc. One album contained 
the portraits and biographies of members of the musical profession in 
California; another, all the music ever composed in this State, the sheets 
being collected and bound in one large volume and laid open upon a 
table of carved oak. There were full-length portraits of Emma Nevada 
and Sybil Sanderson, native California singers, both portraits being 
painted on canvas in monochrome by Miss M. I. Morrison, of San 
Francisco. 

The literary exhibit occupied the west wall and was inclosed in three 
bookcases of cedar, carved in California flowers, with doors of leather 
lattice-work. The collection embraced volumes by each of the most 
celebrated California writers, a specialty being made of early editions 
and works comparatively out of print. There was a complete catalogue 
of books written by California authors, and a large album containing 
portraits of California writers, grouped according to eras and to the 
special publications with which they were directly or indirectly con- 
nected. Around the photographs were various unique designs in water 
colors, painted by Miss Grace Livermore, the collection and arrangement 
of the photographs being by Mrs. R. H. Poore. The album was bound 
in laurel. There were portraits of Bret Harte, Joaquin Miller, and 
others, fire-etched by Miss O'Hara. One of the most valuable books in 
the collection was "The Story of the Files," by Mrs. Ella Sterling Cum- 
mins, a member of the California Board of Lady Managers. Her volume 
was i-ssued under the auspices of the California World's Fair Commis- 
sion, and is a work of great merit, being the first successful attempt to 
record in permanent form the names of writers, more or less famous, 
who have been identified with literary work in California, and elsewhere 
upon the Pacific Coast. Beginning with the earliest journals and maga- 
zines, the intention was to represent the growth of California literature 
for the past forty years, and to record the names of writers of verse,

authors of short stories, novelists, and journalists, each in his or her 
particular school, together with brief biographical sketches and quota- 
tions from their works. The collection as a whole was made by an 
association known as the San Francisco Women's Literary Exhibit. 

Elsewhere in the room were sculptures, including a bust of Karl 
Formes, the singer, by Rupert Schmid; "Head of a Boy," by T. B. 
Jackson, and other articles; also contributions in the line of pictorial 
art, paintings by Wm. Keith, Theodore Wores, and others, a cabinet of 
keramic work by the San Francisco Keramic Club, and specimens of 
embroidery finely executed. 

For the San Francisco exhibit as a whole the Board of Supervisors 
appropriated $10,000, the sum of $7,000 being expended for the relief 
map and $3,000 for the Woman's Room. Besides this, a goodly amount 
toward defraying the expenses of the Woman's Room was secured in 
donations by members of the general committee, and others. 

STATE MINING EXHIBIT. 

The exhibit of the Department of Mines and Mining of the California 
World's Fair Commission was divided at Chicago — one part being in 
the State building, the other in the Mines and Mining Building. Both 
exhibits compared favorably with those of other States and governments 
as to variety, value, and attractiveness. 

More awards might possibly have been secured had all the material 
been installed in the Mines and Mining Building, as the ruling of the 
World's Columbian Exposition excluded from competition articles con- 
tained in the State building; but the benefits derived in an advertising 
line from the mineral display in the California Building, which brought 
together under one roof almost a miniature world, greatly outweighed 
the possible loss of some awards. 

The mineral exhibit in the State building was located on the west side 
of the main aisle, immediately south of the San Francisco relief map, 
and occupied a space 50 by 30 feet, entirely inclosed by a double row 
of showcases filled with ores and minerals. The feature first noticeable 
was the large statue of James W. Marshall, the discoverer of gold in 
California in 1848, it being a fac simile of the one erected at Coloma, 
El Dorado County, over the spot where Marshall found the first nugget. 
At the base of this statue, and encircling it, were eight showcases filled 
with the richest samples of gold-bearing quartz, gold nuggets, and other 
valuable specimens. 

One of the cases was entirely devoted to a nugget of crystallized gold, 
and many very rich pieces of gold-bearing quartz from the Delhi Mine, 
Nevada County, owned by R. McMurray, a member of the California 
World's Fair Commission. This piece of virgin gold is notable for its 
crystallization, forming an almost perfect representation of a fern leaf. 
It was one of the most attractive specimens on exhibition, and contained 
$140 worth of gold. Among other features especially interesting to 
mining men, were the numerous specimens of very rich quartz, one of 
which was a large piece of crystallized quartz and gold, containing 
about $1,200 worth of the precious metal. This was the most valuable 
single specimen, commercially speaking, in the exhibit, although several 
smaller fragments of quartz contained more gold in proportion to their 
size. One piece had been sawed in two, and the flat sides polished. 



38 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

which greatly improved its appearance. This case was not only the 
most valuable, but also one of the most beautiful of the entire collection. 

Two more cases were devoted to the product's of the Doe & Daggett 
and Black Bear mines, Siskiyou County, belonging to John Daggett, 
now Superintendent of the United States Branch Mint at San Francisco. 
Several of these specimens, besides being very rich, were noteworthy 
for the beautiful combinations of quartz crystals intermingled with 
free gold. 

At the preliminary World's Fair exhibit, held in San Francisco during 
the months of January and February, 1893, the collection of ores from 
Plumas County received a gold medal for its completeness and scientific 
arrangement. The most valuable part of this collection occupied another 
of the showcases at the base of the Marshall statue. It consisted of fine 
and coarse gold, nuggets of various sizes, rich gold-bearing quartz, and 
platinum. The remainder filled three showcases in the California 
exhibit in the Mines and Mining Building. 

The rest of the cases were filled with specimens loaned by the State 
Mining Bureau, county organizations, mining companies, and private 
individuals. As was also true of the California display in the Mines 
and Mining Building, the collection furnished by the State Mining 
Bureau constituted much the larger, portion of the exhibit. A total of 
about one thousand specimens were exhibited in both buildings, repre- 
senting every county in the State, nearly three hundred of them being 
gold quartz. 

Among objects of note in the different cases was a nugget of solid 
gold, weighing 30 ounces, which was found in the Blue Wing Mine, 
Nevada County; a large number of vials containing placer gold of dif- 
ferent degrees of fineness, principally from the Trinity River; and rare 
specimens of leaf, wire, and crystallized gold in quartz from the different 
mines in El Dorado, Butte, Tuolumne, Amador, Placer, and other coun- 
ties. Among the finest of these were specimens from Nigger Hill, James- 
town, and Lovelock mines, one of these being the property of J. A. 
Goodwin, and consisting of two almost perfect fern leaves, inclosing a 
quartz crystal; a splendid piece of wire gold from the Green Mountain 
Mine, Siskiyou County; also diamonds found in different parts of the 
State in ancient river-beds. 

One object of popular interest was a gold-mounted gavel, made of 
manzanita, with an orange-wood handle. This gold was mined by the 
hydraulic process at Dutch Flat, in presence of the National Editorial 
Association, on the 28th of May, 1892. After being melted and cast 
into a bar, it was presented by the California Miners' Association to the 
National Editorial Association as a memento of their visit to our mining 
regions, and was in turn made by them into this beautiful gavel. 

Besides the cases forming the octagon at the foot of the statue, there 
were forty-eight cases, 8 feet long and 2 feet wide, and four large corner 
cases, all filled with samples of ore from many of the principal mines of 
the State. There were also gold-bearing gravels from the North Bloom- 
field, Manzanita, and other gravel mines; marble from the quarries of 
the Inyo and Colton marble companies, and serpentine from Dr. Boye- 
son's quarry in Amador County, and Kimball Bros.' quarry in San 
Diego County. One very interesting exhibit was a pyramid of rubellite 
from San Diego County. This is a red variety of tourmaline, which 
usually occurs in green and black shades. 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 39 

The Mathison Smelting Company, of San Francisco, had on exhibition 
a remarkably fine display of antimony ores and regulus; the latter, cast 
into bars, showed the typical fern-leaf crystallization of pure antimony. 
This was considered the finest display of its kind in the Exposition. 

A characteristic product of California, so immensely rich in her 
resources, was the onyx from San Luis Obispo County, owned by 
Kesseler Bros., of San Francisco. In texture, as well as in softly blended 
shades of color, it equals if not surpasses all other kinds of onyx, even 
the far-famed Mexican. A beautiful assortment of this material formed 
part of the mineral collection in the State building, although the larger 
part was in the Mines and Mining Building. 

Among the economic minerals of the State, the following were promi- 
nent: Aluminum ore from the San Bernardino County Mine, containing 
nearly 43 per cent of the metal — a very high percentage; asphaltum and 
oil from Kern and Ventura Counties; and borax from the vast deposits 
of Death Valley, in Inyo County. 

Although nearly all counties and localities were represented in one 
way or another, several sent collections of their own, viz.: Plumas, 
Fresno, Shasta, Butte, and San Bernardino Counties, and thus aided 
materially in making the California mineral collection one of the most 
complete at the Exposition. 

The quicksilver interest was represented by some very rich ores from 
New Almaden and other mines, as well as a specimen from a new mine 
at the intersection of McAllister and Devisadero Streets, San Francisco, 
which was discovered while grading for building purposes. 

Much interest was awakened by a meteorite from San Bernardino 
County, which weighed 1 28 pounds. In the general collection were a 
number of fine quartz crystals, one of which weighed 106 pounds, and a 
variety of petrifactions and rare minerals. 

Several models of large nuggets found in California filled a corner case, 
surmounted by a fac simile of the largest bar ever cast, the result of one 
month's run in the North Bloomfield Hydraulic Mine, Nevada County, 
which weighed 6,127.78 ounces, troy, and represented a value of 
$114,280 72. 

STATE HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT. 

The Space devoted to the State horticultural exhibit lay under the 
southwest gallery. Beginning at the great middle doorway on the west 
side of the building, it stretched southward, abreast of the San Francisco 
and Mining spaces, for 115 feet, carrying a width of 26 feet for about 
7 feet, and beyond that, owing to an L in the outer wall, of 19 feet, mak- 
ing a total area of 2,234 square feet, including the passages left between 
the various tables and showcases. 

In the northern half of this area were three solid tables of about 11 
feet in width and averaging 14 feet in length, on which was maintained 
a display of fresh fruit, changing with the changing seasons. In the 
earlier weeks of the fair the golden lemons and oranges from the 
southern counties enjoyed almost a monopoly of these tables; but in the 
later months they were gradually and largely supplanted by apricots, 
cherries, grapes, apples, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, etc., which 
came pouring in from the northern, central, and southern portions of the 
State. These fruits were shown while in their freshest beauty either on 
plates or in boxes, and then sold to eager visitors, to give place for new 



40 REPOKT OF world's PAIR COMMISSION. 

arrivals. The tempting output of these tables, as well as the plate ex- 
hibit in the Southwest Curtain of the Horticultural Building, was hedged 
about with wire-net shields, of a pattern modified from the design of the 
eminent horticulturist, Prof. W. H. Ragan, of Greencastle, Indiana. 

The southern half of the space was furnished with high and roomy- 
showcases, which, being set in pairs, back to back, at right angles to 
the outer wall of the building, formed a series of alcoves under the 
gallery. These alcoves were built with returns alternately long and 
short, so that one could walk quite around the first pair of cases, but 
the next pair occupied the full 19 feet from aisle to window. All the 
cases had a uniform depth, from their fronts to the partition formed by 
the double backs, of about 6 feet, and were glazed with large panes to a 
height of 10 feet from the floor. 

The- case nearest the fruit tables was filled with the exhibit of the 
Sonoma Preserve Company. On a steeply terraced stand, covered 
throughout with a rich maroon felt-cloth, were marshaled, tier above 
tier, the trim, though diverse jars of jams and jellies, pickles and condi- 
ments; also bottles of unfermented wine. 

The case back of this, and facing southward, was given over to jellies 
in variety, disposed in glass cylinders of uniform size and pattern, on a 
sloping expanse of wire framework. Jellies, too, in a multitude of little 
crystal jars, were set on rows of shelves over against the wide window 
westward, where their transparent hues shone in clear amber and ruby. 

In the longer case on the other side of this alcove were dried fruits 
from different portions of the State, including peaches and nectarines, 
prunes and apricots, apples and pears, figs and raisins. They were all 
arranged in neat boxes, laid five rows high on a sharp incline, rising 
from the front to the back of the showcase, and extending from the 
window to the inner aisle. The symmetrically partitioned frame of seeds 
in contrasted colors, displayed by the Germain Fruit Company, came in 
as a fitting end-piece. A California pioneer, then in South America, sent 
a curious contribution to this department, viz: a "peach cheese," from 
Elqui, Chile. It was a solid brick of dark, sun-dried fruit, weighing 
about twenty pounds, delicately inlaid with fine cuttings of lighter 
shades, arranged in graceful figures, the whole being hard pressed. 

The succeeding alcove was devoted almost entirely to nuts. The 
middle of the north case was occupied by a quarter sphere of about 5 
feet radius, that was entirely covered with walnuts. Beside this, in the 
end of the case next to the aisle, was a circlet of inverted pear-shaped 
jars, each holding a half gallon of very large walnuts and almonds, while 
in the corner by the window was a stand of Santa Clara County olive oil. 

Facing these, the shorter case was taken up wholly with A. T. Hatch's 
collection of almonds, comprising more than eighty varieties. Tastefully 
packed in boxes of uniform size, with glass tops bordered with red, gold, 
and white, tied with crimson ribbons, and laid on the slopes of a dark- 
green pyramid that was crossed and edged with gilt molding, these 
almonds formed a display singularly attractive and effective. 

It was while looking at this general exhibit and the striking fruit dis- 
plays made by the different counties, that J. M. Samuels, Chief of the 
Department of Horticulture at the World's Columbian Exposition, paid 
a splendid tribute to California. The date was June 19, 1893, the day 
of the formal dedication of the California Building, During these 
exercises Mr. Samuels, who was one of the speakers, in referring to the 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION.

horticultural exhibits from California in both the Horticultural and 
California Buildings, said: "I feel it my duty to express my apprecia- 
tion of what California has done for the Department of Horticulture. 
The State has occupied every foot of space assigned to her in the several 
divisions of the department with a magnificent display, besides appro- 
priating the entire area relinquished by other more tardy or less enter- 
prising commonwealths. It is but just to the enterprise of your 
citizens to state the fact that Californians are, at the present time, pre- 
eminently in the lead of all exhibitors in the Department of Horticulture. 
By those familiar with 'your varied and wonderful resources, and the 
intelligence and energy of your citizens, this is naturally expected. The 
first evidences that you intended to distance all competitors, came in 
the way of complaints. Here was the most convincing proof that you 
intended doing something. I was pleased to note this evidence of your 
earnestness. * * * Gentlemen, I am profoundly grateful to you for 
your untiring interest in the Department of Horticulture, and the ready 
response you have made to every request made by me, and I wish I could 
induce the press and the public more thoroughly to understand the sac- 
rifices you are making to keep up a continual fruit display, something 
that has never been attempted at any fair before. Your exhibits in 
pomology, floriculture, horticulture, and arboriculture are but a meager 
representation of what you intend to have in the future, but they are 
now the wonder and admiration of all nations." 

These strong and commendatory words from the highest horticultural 
officer at the Exposition, constitute but a sample of the very compli- 
mentary remarks that were daily made by prominent visitors and that 
appeared almost daily in the Eastern and foreign newspapers. A perusal 
of " Comments of the Press," found elsewhere in this report, will prove 
exceedingly interesting and instructive. 

It was found by experience that soon after visitors had seen and tasted 
of the delicious fruits they naturally began inquiries concerning fruit 
production in general, and especially the varieties of fruits chiefly grown 
in California. It was then that the best opportunity was afforded to 
call their attention to statistics displayed as follows, showing the —

This second table was prepared by Gen. N. P. Chipman, chairman of 
the committee on the agricultural and industrial resources of California 
for the State Board of Trade. In the compilation he preferred to divide 
the State, constituting all that portion north of the Tehachapi Mountains 
as Northern California, and the remaining portion as Southern Cali- 
fornia. This division, the usually accepted one, shows that at present 
Southern California produces practically all the citrus fruits, while 
Northern California yields the bulk of the deciduous fruits. In both 
sections growers, taken collectively, are now gradually planting a larger 
acreage of those varieties least represented. Expressed in carloads of 
20,000 pounds each, the figures show that California's fruit shipments 
during 1892 aggregated 18,741 carloads by rail and 1,754 by sea, or a 
total of 20,495 carloads. 



TEHAMA COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

An alcove, 19 by 22 feet, adjoining the horticultural exhibit on the 
south, was occupied by Tehama County. The space was utilized like 
the alcoves comprising the State horticultural display, the sides being 
inclosed in glass. A wide aisle led from the main west aisle of the 
building to the windows farther west. From the fact of her being later 
than some counties in applying for space, Tehama was necessarily given 
room in the southern end of the building, although her products would 
more naturally be considered in connection with those of the northern 
part of the State, and especially of Shasta County. 

Tehama's exhibit comprised about two hundred and fifty jars of fruits 
in solution, dried fruits, nuts, grain in the kernel and the sheaf, jellies, 
and minerals. A special effort was made to show deciduous and citrus 
fruits and nuts. Oranges and lemons, some of them on branches, were 
shown in small and large glass jars. Among deciduous fruits repre- 
sented were plums, prunes, peaches, apples, pears, apricots, olives, and 
figs. The jelly was made from both cultivated and wild fruits, which 
naturally gave many tints and shades. The display of nuts included 
walnuts and almonds, there being many varieties of the latter, although 
the exhibit of the largest almond-gruwer in the county, A. T. Hatch, 
was shown in the State horticultural space. Grain in sheaf was used 
for the double purpose of exhibit and decoration. 

The Board of Supervisors appropriated $2,500 toward defraying the 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 43 

expenses of the exhibit, of which $2,380 was actually expended, while 
a substantial sum besides was contributed by individuals and firms. 

FRESNO COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

Fresno utilized not only the succeeding alcove, but an outside floor 
space, 26 by 30 feet. The alcove appeared fairly embowered in sheaves, 
both large and small, of wheat, oats, rye, and barley. The walls were 
adorned with numerous photographs of Fresno vineyards and mountain 
scenes, together with other pictures, while the ceiling was decorated with 
palmetto leaves. In the middle of the room stood a pyramid 8 feet high, 
the component bricks being 8,000 half-pound boxes of raisins — souvenirs 
of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. Over 25,000 such boxes 
were distributed to visitors during the fair. 

A plank of clear sugar pine, 50 inches wide and 15 feet high, stood 
beside this pyramid. Near by was an excellent picture of the shores of 
the Hawaiian Islands, embroidered in colored silk by a mountaineer of 
Fresno County, who had at one time lived at the islands; also a statu- 
ette of Mercury, carved by a young Italian, from a piece of the sequoia 
tree known as " General Noble," a section of which graced the rotunda 
of the United States Government Building on the Exposition grounds. 
(This tree was originally 300 feet high, and stood on the boundary line 
between Fresno and Tulare Counties. The portion utilized was cut 20 
feet from the ground, and even at this height was 26 feet in diameter 
and 85 feet in circumference. The section was 30 feet high, the interior 
being hollowed out to such an extent that a spiral stairway was built in 
the middle after reaching Chicago, thus affording visitors a desired 
opportunity of ascending to the top and taking a panoramic view of 
one of the giant specimens of the botanical world.) 

The inclosures of the outside floor space of Fresno's exhibit consisted 
of counters of paneled sequoia gigantea, or "big tree," covered with 
different sized jars of assorted fruits in clear preservative fluids. Above 
these and beside the several gateways, rose tall sequoia urns, crowned 
with heavy heads of durra and a lavish wealth of mounting pampas 
plumes. In the center of the area was erected a circular installation 
structure, like an airy summer-house, a dozen feet in diameter. On the 
circling shelves were set cylinders of choice fruits in solution, and boxes 
of Fresno figs, raisins, and other dried fruits of many species and vari- 
eties, arranged under gilt and silvered frames, in positions to encourage 
close and critical scrutiny. On the highest shelf came a ring of Fresno 
County jellies; then eaves of Egyptian corn, and over it all a half- 
sphered roof, thatched thick with headed grains, the pavilion in its 
entirety proving a novel attraction to strolling sight-seers. 

Among objects of interest in the collection were an orange cling peach 
22 inches in circumference, and a cluster of Muscat grapes weighing 7-| 
pounds from a two-year-old vine. Here, too, could be found cotton, 
alfalfa hay, nuts, threshed grain, and a cabinet of ores and other min- 
erals. A large oil painting of the wild Kings River Cafion, in the Sierra 
Nevada regions of Fresno County, adorned the partition beneath the 
gorgeous sign-banners that hung between this and the Kern County 
exhibit, while scattered among the articles of utilitarian value were 
fifty fine photographs of the more noted points of interest in this canon. 
Among other instructive photographs was a series of twenty-four, taken

in one of the representative vineyards of the county, illustrating th& 
cultivation of the grape and raisin-making, from the pruning of the vine 
to the placing of raisins in the sweat-boxes preparatory to packing them 
for market. The pictures showed the pruning of vines, burning the 
brush, methods of irrigation both by furrows and by flooding, single 
and double plowing, cultivation, topping, picking, drying, sorting, etc. 
As a further object-lesson the raisins themselves were to be seen in th& 
different forms and brands under which they are placed upon the market,, 
such as clusters, 4-crown layers, 3-crown layers, 2-crown layers, Nos. 1, 
2, and 3 of loose raisins, seedless Sultanas, Thompson seedless, and 
Zante currants. 

Taking the display as a whole, the following showing was made: 55 
varieties of grapes, 22 varieties of peaches, 18 of plums, 16 of olives, 14 
of pears, 12 of apples, 8 of apricots, 5 each of figs, oranges, pomegranates, 
and cherries, 4 each of lemons, quinces, and persimmons, and 3 varieties 
of pears. A single grower, Geo. C. Roeding, contributed 30 different, 
varieties of grapes and 12 of olives, while another grower, E. B. Rodgers, 
exhibited 15 varieties of grapes. Of wines there were displayed port, 
claret, sherry, angelica, burger, riesling, haut sauterne, cognac, etc. 
The vegetable world was represented by 10 varieties of beans, 6 of 
corn, 4 of squashes, 3 of peas and 2 of artichokes, besides potatoes,, 
carrots, and other garden products; the mineral resources of the county 
by gold, silver, quicksilver, iron, coal, asbestos, lime, gypsum, granite^ 
marble, etc. 

The county exhibit was collected and prepared jointly by a Commis- 
sion, of which J. H. Harding was President, and Geo. A. Wilson and 
Mrs. M. B. Stuart, Secretaries, and by the Ladies' World's Fair Associa- 
tion, of which Mrs. Thos. E. Hughes was President, and Mrs. Wiley J. 
Tinnin, Secretary. The latter association furnished the souvenir boxes- 
of raisins for distribution, also the souvenir badges, all table fruits, jellies, 
pampas plumes, fancy work, paintings, etc. The exhibit at Chicago was- 
under the charge of Geo. A. Wilson as Manager, and Miss Nellie Boyd 
as Assistant Manager. 

The entire expenses connected with the collection and maintenance of 
the display amounted to $8,500, this sum being met by the County 
Board of Supervisors in appropriations of $7,500 and $1,000 each. 

KERN COUNTY EXHIBIT. 

The Kern County exhibit occupied two rectangular spaces southward^ 
the alcove space under the gallery being formed into a commodious re- 
ception-room, where all surrounding objects were suggestive of Kern 
County. The floor was carpeted as in a parlor, while easy-chairs and 
sofas invited the visitor to rest. On the table were newspapers, stationery 
for correspondence, and quantities of State and county literature, espe- 
cially the taking pamphlets of the Kern County Land Company. A 
practical effect was obtained by placing upon the table jars of assorted 
fruits in such a manner as to afford an object-lesson of the county's 
products to every man and woman who entered the room. Tall jars of 
fruits in solution were set against the windows, giving sight-seers on the 
outside the impression of a show window filled with multi-varied fruits. 
Artistic designs in dried fruits handsomely framed stood on easels in 
corners of the room, while the available space oh the walls was covered 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 45 

with large photographs of Kern County scenery, especially of her 
•orchards, vineyards, alfalfa fields, and stock farms. 

On the outer space, which was 26 by 30 feet in size, and across the 
aisle from the alcove compartment, was one of the most novel installation 
features in the entire building. It consisted of an arched bridge 25 feet 
long, 13 feet high, and 4 feet wide, one end resting on a hemisphere 
inscribed '"Orient," the other resting on a similarly constructed base 
inscribed "Occident," the intention of the design being to convey the 
thought that Kern Coupty bridges the world in the wide range of her 
products. This structure was named the Rialto Bridge, being a minia- 
ture representation of the historic Ponte di Rialto, the only bridge that 
for decades spanned the wide Canal Grande in Venice. Being a sin- 
gularly striking feature and the first exhibit to the left as the visitor 
entered the building from the south, it attracted general notice. The 
arch was constructed of light-colored and amber-hued woods, in pleas- 
ing combinations, with pilasters, panels, etc., rising from the sides, all 
covered with a corniced roof of such weight and detail as to render the 
general effect harmonious. A substantial key-stone of architectural 
beauty capped the archway at the center, while surmounting this stood 
a golden eagle with outstretched wings, measuring five feet from tip 
to tip. 

There were nine minor transverse arches on each side of the 'bridge, 
formed by the intervening pilasters, and in these were set tall jars of 
fruit in solution. Other jars of varied size and pattern were placed on 
the slight projections, and on the series of steps along the sides and 
ends of the roof, as well as along each side of the floor of the bridge out- 
side of the roofed portions. ■ Among the different species of fruits in the 
jars were peaches, pears, apricots, apples, oranges, lemons, nectarines, 
plums, prunes, figs, olives, quinces, grapes, cherries, blackberries, and 
raspberries. 

Under the eighteen transverse arches were an equal number of panels, 
filled with very clear mosaics of dried fruits, nuts, seeds, etc., all designed 
and executed by Miss M. E. Armstrong, of Bakersfield. For example, 
in two of the panels was represented a pair of scales; in one was a map 
of the world worked out in citron peel and other fruits; while in the 
other were the varied products of Kern County, which, in their col- 
lectiveness, overbalanced the world. The background consisted of 
raisins, the scales, of Silver prunes, with other varieties forming the 
remaining portions. Another striking piece was the American shield, 
constructed entirely of dried prunes and peaches, the stars and stripes 
being accurately worked out in fruits of different shades. Among the 
other designs were a Maltese cross made of peaches and prunes; a horse- 
shoe; an anchor; shears in black prunes, with Silver prunes for a back- 
ground; a cornucopia that represented a bounteous outpouring of fruit 
and nuts; and a dollar mark worked in fruit, the evident intention of 
the latter being to indicate that there are dollars in fruit for the careful 
investor. Besides these, there were several artistic studies in cereals, 
beans, and nuts. 

Under the center of the bridge was a triple-terraced stand containing 
mineral productions of the county, including gold, silver, copper, 
antimony, lead, asphalt, gypsum, salt, etc. 

The bridge being set diagonally across the outer rectangle, left two 
triangular spaces, in opposite comers, which were utilized by placing 



46 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

thereon terraced stands loaded with horticultural and other products. 
Here were fruits in fluid, ripe fruits in season, dried peaches, pears, 
prunes, apricots, citron, and raisins, together with cereals, such as barley, 
wheat, oats, corn, Egyptian corn, broomcorn, cotton, and ramie, besides 
combs of honey, fleeces of wool, a bale of alfalfa hay, and a large block 
of native asphaltum. 

About $12,725 was expended in the collection and maintenance of 
this exhibit, $7,500 being appropriated by the County Board of Super- 
visors, and $5,225 by different fi,rms and individuals, of which $5,000 
was contributed by the Kern County Land Company. Besides the above 
amounts a goodly sum was expended by the latter company in literature 
of an advertising nature, the different publications being much sought 
for, owing largely to the splendid illustrations therein of Kern County 
scenery. 

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WORLd's PAIR ASSOCIATION. 

The exhibits from the six southern counties of the State, viz. : Los An- 
geles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Orange, Santa Barbara, and Ventura, 
were displayed under what was termed the Southern California World's 
Fair Association, which began active operations in December, 1891. The 
association was composed of delegates appointed by the Supervisors of 
each county. There were ten delegates from Los Angeles County, four 
from San Diego, three from San Bernardino, and two each from Orange, 
Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties, making a total of twenty-three 
representatives, the county of Riverside not having been formed until a 
year or more after this organization. The county organizations worked 
in harmony with the association, and while contributing to a general 
collective exhibit, representing the products of the southern portion of 
the State, they maintained separate display-features in both the Califor- 
nia and the Horticultural Buildings, and also to a certain extent in 
other department buildings. At an early date the association elected a 
general manager, the lot falling to Frank Wiggins, Assistant Secretary 
and Superintendent of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce — a man 
of great energy and executive ability. Each county in turn selected a 
manager and assistants for the separate county exhibits, subject to the 
supervision of the general manager. 

The output of this association filled the entire southeast quarter of 
the building, or one fourth of the lower floor. Besides this, small areas 
were allotted on the west side in the State horticultural space. The 
larger space was divided by aisles into two long rectangular areas, that 
on the extreme eastern side being 102^ feet long by 15^ feet wide, and 
containing 1,589 square feet, the inner rectangle being 177 feet long by 
26-| feet wide, and containing about 4,690 square feet, or a total of 6,279 
square feet. Actual exhibit space in the larger area was somewhat 
reduced by small aisles that separated distinctive features. 

The miscellaneous character of the exhibits made it practically impos- 
sible to establish a plan of installation as systematic as was adopted by 
some of the individual counties, but the management succeeded in plac- 
ing upon the main floor six distinctive features that splendidly illus- 
trated the leading productions of the various sections. It was held that 
the average visitor entered the building for the purpose of looking at 
California as a State, and with no well-defined idea of different locali- 
ties. If, however, he saw a striking feature of any one product or

products, he naturally inquired the locality from which they came. It 
was with this in view that the six special features of olive oil, beans, 
oranges, nuts, raisins, and miscellaneous fruits were separately arranged 
and so constructed as to convince visitors of the magnitude of the pro- 
ductions of Southern California in these various lines. 

No other six contiguous counties expended on their displays as much 
money in the aggregate as did those forming the Southern California 
World's Fair Association. Los Angeles County laid out $30,000; San 
Diego, $15,000; San Bernardino, $12,500; Santa Barbara, $6,000; Ven- 
tura, $7,500; Orange, $5,000, and Riverside, $3,000. The last county, 
created by an Act of the Legislature of 1893, was formed after other 
county exhibits had been forwarded to Chicago. It therefore was not 
properly a member of the association, but its products were exhibited 
with those of the other counties. In general, there were n9 large finan- 
cial contributions outside of the appropriations made as above by the 
several County Boards of Supervisors. The aggregate appropriations, 
amounting to $79,000, included disbursements in collecting and main- 
taining the association's exhibits in both the State and the department 
buildings. The total number of carloads shipped by the association to 
Chicago was 73, of which 40 cars were forwarded by Los Angeles County. 

Santa Barbara County. 

On entering the California Building by the south portal, attention 
was at once arrested by the amber-hued obelisk known as the " olive 
tower," which was built in imitation of Cleopatra's needle, the gilded 
frame being of light steel. It was 28 feet high, 4 feet square at the base, 
and tapered gradually until it was but 3 feet square, when the sides of 
the pyramid converged sharply to a point. The obelisk stood upon a 
pedestal 6 feet square and 3 feet high. Nearly 2,000 quart bottles of 
" Virgin olive oil," furnished by Ellwood Cooper, were used in making 
this singularly striking exhibit. 

Surrounding the obelisk were a number of large photographs of the 
" Flower Festivals," consisting principally of a street parade and a 
" battle of flowers," that have become so prominent a feature of the early 
winter months at the city of Santa Barbara. These pictures showed 
vehicles of different kinds, with their wheels, bodies, and tops fairly 
buried in roses and rare flowers of divers hues and sizes. The horses 
and often the drivers appeared literally clothed in floral offerings. 
Numerous floats, unique in design and construction, and entirely covered 
with cut flowers, were represented in the views, one being accompanied 
with the statement that as many as thirty-two thousand rose buds had 
been used to decorate a single carriage. 

A valuable herbarium, comprising six hundred specimens of pressed 
wildflowers of Santa Barbara County, scientifically classified by Mrs. 
Ida M. Blochman, was divided, a portion being in the State educational 
exhibit and the remainder in the office of the county manager. After 
the close of the Exposition, the collection was presented to the North- 
western University at Evanston, Illinois. 

In the Horticultural Building, Santa Barbara County displayed a 
number of jars of tropical fruits, boxes of dried fruits, cases of Cooper's 
and of Ralph Selby's olive oils, lemons by C. F. Eaton, and a large 
grapevine, 13 inches in diameter, contributed by W. H. Phillips. 



48 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION, 

Within the grounds of the State building, in the California nursery 
on the Midway Plaisance, in the open court of the Horticultural Build- 
ing, and upon the " roof garden " of the State Building, the county dis- 
played about two hundred useful and ornamental trees and plants. 
The collection comprised among others olives, guavas, lemons, oranges, 
loquats, and several varieties of palms, especially a sago-palm and the 
two large date-palms (mentioned elsewhere) near the east entrance of 
the California Building. There were six carloads of trees from this 
county alone. 

Ventura County. 

Immediately north of this installation feature, and separated therefrom 
by an aisle, stood Ventura's octagon house, or widely known " Bean Pa- 
goda," 12 feet in diameter at its base, and 23^ feet high. In its construc- 
tion 7,056 pieces of redwood were used, and 1,236 pieces of glass, the latter 
being cut into twenty-seven different shapes. There were six hundred 
and fifteen glazed compartments filled with beans, even the name of 
the county, " Ventura," being spelled in differently colored beans on the 
outside twenty-two times. There were forty artistic designs in beans 
around the pagoda above the doors and windows, and two five-pointed 
white stars with red center star over each of the double doors. On the 
tapering roof, in the circle around the top, appeared the words, wrought 
in beans of different colors: "Do you know beans when the bag is 
open?" Nearly 2,000 pounds of beans, representing eighty-three varie- 
ties, were used in the structure, which was intended to call especial 
attention to this one product, Ventura being the largest bean-producing 
county in the State, and containing the largest bean farm in the world. 

The interior of the pagoda was used by Manager Thompson as an 
office and a reception-room for guests. Upon a table was the largest 
single register in the building, with an invitation to visitors to record 
their names. . The pagoda was designed in accordance with the ideas of 
Capt. N. Blackstock, of Ventura. George C. Power of that city was the 
architect, while F. A. Foster had charge of the arrangement of the beans. 

This county also displayed elsewhere a variety of green and dried 
fruits, jellies, almonds, English walnuts, peanuts, honey, oats, wheat, 
barley, corn, birdseed, edible gourds, etc. Included in the fruits were 
oranges, lemons, pomeloes, shaddocks, figs, olives, loquats, apricots, 
cherries, prunes, plums, peaches, nectarines, pears, apples, persimmons, 
and grapes, besides raisins, wine, olive oil, wool, and petroleum. Some 
of the honey shown was gathered from the blossoms of lima beans a 
year before the Exposition, being deposited in glass jars by the bees 
themselves. Of almonds, twenty-one varieties were exhibited in one case. 

Ventura also maintained in the Horticultural Building an excellent 
showing of fruits, especially citrus, and in the California exhibit in the 
Mines and Mining Building a display of petroleum, of which this county 
is the largest producer in the State. 

San Diego County. 

Still farther north, and separated by aisles from other features, was 
the large and clear-cut raisin pyramid built by San Diego, the most 
southern county of the State. This structure had a base about 12 feet 
square, with sides rising vertically about 3 feet to where the pyramid 
proper began. From this height there was presented only a smooth.

glassy slope up to where the converging sides met in a point. This 
result was reached by having the boxes at each end of the six rows cut 
in half diagonally, so that each upper row was two boxes shorter than 
the one below. The narrow ledge about the base of the pyramid was 
garnished with alternate plates of lemons and bottles of oil. 

Other contributions from this county were to be found in collective 
exhibits made by the Southern California World's Fair Association. 
The San Diego Land and Town Company covered a small table with 
lemons. In the Horticultural Building, the county occupied four differ- 
ent spaces, two upstairs and two downstairs; she also had a large exhibit 
of stuffed waterfowl, fishes, shells, etc., in the Fisheries Building. 

East of the raisin p3'ramid was the woman's booth of the Southern 
Association — one of the daintiest alcoves in the entire building. Several 
of the southern counties, notably Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego, 
contributed to this booth. There were shown decorated china, various 
kinds of work in silk, cases of embroidery and drawn work, crocheting, 
baskets, shell-flower pieces, hair-work, a cocoon portiere, an exquisite 
floral-pictured coverlet, ostrich plumes, pressed wildflowers, plaques of 
mounted birds, stuffed eagles and owls, rugs, rustic chairs and settees, 
photographs, oil paintings, etc. In the decorations the artist's brush 
was used in connection with hanging tree-moss, pine cones, pampas 
plumes, etc. This room was in charge of Mrs. Eunice E. Young, of San 
Diego, and constituted her headquarters, from which she distributed 
literature, souvenirs, photographs, and other articles designed to call 
attention to the products of Southern California, and especially to those 
features wherein woman's work enters. 

Los Angeles County. 

North from the raisin pyramid stood the attractive globe of oranges 
■constructed by Los Angeles County. Like the pyramid, it had a base 
about 12 feet square and 3 feet high, the globe itself being about 8 feet 
m diameter. A total of 6,280 oranges were required to cover it, each 
orange being supported in a separate wire loop. The design was finished 
June lOih, and was replenished every fifteen days, requiring a total of 
70,000 oranges up to the close of the Exposition. Upon the edges of the 
base were placed large jars containing oranges in solution. 

While other counties had, respectively, chosen olive oil, beans, raisins, 
etc., to represent them, Los Angeles decided to make the orange her 
special feature. It was with this in view that, besides the orange globe, 
there was erected in the Horticultural Building the orange tower, 35 feet 
high and 12 feet square at the base, containing nearly 14,000 oranges; 
also the "Old Liberty Bell," containing 4,500 oranges. To erect and 
maintain these three exhibits during the Exposition required a total of 
over 375,000 oranges, and necessitated an expenditure of nearly $10,000 
for the fruit alone. 

In the report to the Board of Supervisors, submitted during the sum- 
mer of 1893, Manager Wiggins, describing the county's output at Chicago, 
said: " Los Angeles County is represented with three of the largest citrus 
fruit exhibits on the ground; the largest walnut display in two build- 
ings, and more fruit in glass in the Horticultural Building than any 
other county in the State. She has also a creditable exhibit in the State 
classification in the Horticultural Building, and occupies one third of 
4w 



50 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

the space in the State's exhibit in the Agricultural Building. In the 
California Building she has the credit of making the Pampas Palace, in 
consequence of the plumes being raised in that county. Her fruits in 
glass, with the balance of the southern counties, are exhibited in the 
Palace of Plenty, and on the pyramid of fruit; her grains and nuts and 
woods are also exhibited in the booths, jointly with the other localities^ 
her name also appears in other parts of the California Building where 
the State classified exhibit is made, while in front of the building her 
name appears on ninety trees and plants; on the Roof Garden her name 
is attached to thirty-five plants, and in the Horticultural Court she fills 
one third of the space; in the State Nursery in the Midway Plaisance 
about one third of the trees carry her label." 

Los Angeles County was one of the leading movers in the effort to 
transport to Chicago a bearing orange and lemon orchard, and set them^ 
out again with palms and other tropical plants in lawns and nurseries^ 
two thousand miles from home. This difficult feat, which had never 
before been accomplished in this country on so large a scale, was most 
successfully achieved, Los Angeles County furnishing nearly one half 
of the entire collection. Other notable contributions from the county 
were several tons of fruit preserved in display jars and many hundred 
pounds of dried fruit, while a continuous exhibit of fresh fruits and 
vegetables was maintained during the entire six months of the Exposi- 
tion. 

Orange and San Bernardino Counties. 

The counties of Orange and San Bernardino and the new county of 
Riverside did not maintain such striking special features in the Cali- 
fornia Building as did the other four counties comprised in the Southern 
California World's Fair Association, but their numerous and varied 
exhibits were distributed among all spaces where the association's prod- 
ucts were to be seen. 

Orange County displayed her citrus and deciduous fruits in such a 
manner as to bring them prominently before the public. Her exhibit 
of fruit in glass was among the largest of any of the southern counties, 
while her output in the agricultural line disclosed a pleasing variety of 
marketable vegetables and luxuriant grains. Her large beets, squashes, 
celery, cucumbers, corn, oats, etc., attracted much attention, while the 
specimens of peat soil evoked marked comment. Her showing of nuts, 
especially English walnuts, was excellent. Besides her displays in the 
State building, she cooperated with other portions of California in illus- 
trating the diversity of her productions in the Horticultural, Agricult- 
ural, and Mining Buildings. 

San Bernardino County maintained in the State building a pyramid 
of oranges with an arrowhead design, recalling her famous "Arrowhead 
Mountain," that constituted an attractive feature. One of her exhibits, 
and the only one of the kind at the Exposition, was an electric album, 
stationed near the orange globe. This consisted of a hundred and sixty 
large views, inclosed in neat wooden frames and arranged in circular 
form. The leaves were automatically turned, from minute to minute,, 
by an electric motor hidden in the pedestal. The photographs included 
views of orchards, vineyards, irrigation works, mountains, valleys, and 
towns. The exhibit of oranges and lemons made by this county in the 
Horticultural Building was complete and beautiful.

Miscellaneous Exhibits, Southern California WorlcVs Fair Association. 

Next to the olive tower, from a base 25 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 3 
feet high, rose, in high terraces, the eight-shelved pyramid of fruits in 
fluid (blossoms and clusters of dates, prickly pears, bunches of bananas, 
etc., included), on which the southern counties had massed seven hun- 
dred crystal jars, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino 
being the heaviest contributors. 

Among miscellaneous exhibits by the Southern Association in the 
California Building were upright stands containing framed photographs 
from Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Amid these stands was set 
the Los Xietos and Ranchito walnut-growers' " pagoda" — an eight-sided 
prism of glass in silvery frame work, about 6 feet in diameter and 12 feet 
high, with pointed roof, showing large-sized walnuts behind each crystal 
panel. 

On the northern end of the space set aside to the Southern Association 
was a reception space 20 feet square, with rug, table, and seats, walled 
about with handsome displays of orchard and vineyard products in boxes 
or in glass, either set aloft on shelves or inclosed in showcases. During 
the later months this was utilized as oflice headquarters for the manager 
and assistants. 

Xear the east entrance to the building stood the " Palace of Plenty," 
a cruciform white temple (18 feet across), its base impaneled with dried 
fruits of many sorts and shades, but all in glass frames of uniform size ; 
its pillars, hexagonal shafts of glass, filled with strata of grains and 
pulse in divers colors. The inner columns were formed of tubes of clear 
honey, sorghum syrup, oil, and wine ; the frieze, of jelly tumblers, while 
on the steps within was a brilliant arraj^ of graded jars of fruits and 
jellies. All of the six southern counties contributed to this feature. 

Under the southeast gallery, abreast of the space extending from the 
oil obelisk to the Palace of Plenty, the alcoves were crowded with prod- 
ucts from the southern counties. About the pillars were grouped aspiring 
bamboo and cornstalks 19 or 20 feet in height. Here were heavy-laden 
vines of peanuts; strings of peppers; bales of alfalfa hay; a cabbage stump 
as high as one's shoulder and as big around as one's arm; the largest 
procurable specimens of potatoes, beets, and mangolds, pumpkins, 
squashes, and melons; sheaves of grain; jars upon jars of cereals, pulse, 
nuts, and soil samples; cocoons and silk in the different stages of its 
manufacture. 

Xear the southeast corner of the area lay a heap of mammoth cucur- 
bits and lesser vegetables, chiefly from Los Angeles County, capped 
with a 490-pound pumpkin, 8 feet 9 inches in girth, or nearly 3 feet 
in diameter, estimated to be large enough to furnish pie for five thousand 
people. The biggest mangold was from San Diego County. The pump- 
kins were flanked with two conical stands of fruits in glass, constituting 
the overflow of the great fruit pyramid. Here was a castor bean stalk 
from Whittier, three years old and as many feet in circumference; a 15- 
foot cornstalk, fifty-eight days from seed, grown at Artesia; a water- 
melon weighing 125 pounds, and sections of a Santa Barbara grapevine 
large enough for cordwood. The tallest matured corn — Yellow Dent — 
19 feet 6 inches high, came from Burbank, and Orange County sent 
double-jointed peanuts, four kernels in the shell. "J. Archer's mam- 
moth beehive " was a pretty piece of cabinet work, being a two-story

houselet, showing through its windows clear comb at least 15 inches 
wide, and having upon its flat roof a showcase of remarkably fine honey, 
both in the comb and extracted, made from Santa Barbara flowers. 

The literature provided by the association was interesting and valuable. 
While nearly all the counties had leaflets, etc., to distribute almost broad- 
cast, the chief publication was a pamphlet of more than one hundred 
pages, entitled " Southern California." This work was issued jointly by 
the Southern California World's Fair Association and the Bureau of In- 
formation. The statements in the pamphlet were vouched for by these 
organizations as being truthful, impartial, and conservative. About 
two thirds of the space was given to general subjects, such as topography, 
soil, climate, irrigation, agriculture, horticulture, mining, general farming, 
pleasure, sport, etc., while the remaining space was devoted to a detailed 
description of each county. This pamphlet, which was handed to home- 
seekers and other visitors, contained twenty-four full-page illustrations, 
besides a beautiful design on the first page of the cover, and a lithograph 
of the California Building on the last page. 

Some exceedingly handsome souvenirs were also distributed by the 
association and by the difl'erent counties. The Los Angeles World's 
Fair Auxiliary furnished thousands of cards having thereon a view of 
the San Luis Rey Mission, and on the reverse side a small pocket con- 
taining California poppy seed. As many as 10,000 souvenir pebbles 
from Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles, were received at a 
single shipment; also, 10,000 sea-shells of various kinds and sizes, and 
10,000 pieces. of yucca wood. These, with other equally novel mementos, 
were freely distributed to visitors. 

"sAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE" EXHIBIT. 

North and east of the general display by the Southern California 
World's Fair Association was an irregular space, 26^ feet long by 9 feet 
wide at the wider end, occupied by the San Francisco " Chronicle." On 
the broad counter were many appliances and materials used in printing 
and illustrating a metropolitan newspaper. 

Much of the space was kept filled with copies of the special World's 
Fair edition, issued April 28, 1893. Besides the' regular edition of 
twenty-four pages, this special issue contained forty pages devoted to the 
resources, products, and diverse industries of California, as well as a vari- 
ety of descriptive matter regarding neighboring States and Territories. 
On the title page appeared the words " California at the World's Fair," 
and a large cut of the California building at Chicago. Several pages 
were devoted to the sociological features of the State, including the bar, 
the school, the church, the press, the military, the turf, clubs, fraternal 
societies, etc. There was a series of articles on " California's Agricult- 
ural Interests," under such headings as " The Orchard," " The Vineyard," 
" The Farm," " The Stock Raiser," " The Wool Grower," " The Dairy," 
"The Raisin Grower," "The Sugar Industry," and "Irrigation." 

California's commerce and manufactures were treated in such a man- 
ner as to cover the history and growth of the railroad, the express, 
and maritime interests; also ship-building, lumbering, milling, and 
manufacturing in general. Six pages were given to a description of 
" The World's Greatest Exhibition," including its history and special 
features in the Exposition as a whole, and a clear statement of the

results accruing from the eiTorts made to secure an adequate representa- 
tion of the products of California at Chicago. 

The marvelous climate and beautiful scenery of the State were accu- 
rately described, special articles being given to the mountain and seaside 
resorts, lakes, springs, etc., also to the healthful sports and amusements 
that the State affords. Under the head of " Mineral Resources of the 
Golden State," quartz mining, placer mining, oil wells, and miscella- 
neous mines were described in detail. Besides these, there were sundry 
carefully prepared papers on other features, serving to cover every interest 
and phase of California life. All articles were well illustrated. 

One of the most instructive features was a two-page map of the State, 
showing all the counties, principal bays, lakes, rivers, cities, towns, val- 
leys, mountains, and islands off the coast. On the same page appeared 
a series of statistics of the productions, etc., of the State, in the line of 
those which have become so marked a feature of special issues of the 
" Chronicle." 

Besides the tens of thousands of copies of the World's Fair edition 
distributed to visitors, there were to be found on the counter the daily 
issues of the paper. Attendants were present to answer questions and 
give desired information. 

ART DEPARTMENT. 

Probably no single department of the State exhibit proved so great a 
surprise to the Eastern visitors as the display in the Art Gallery of the 
California Building. They expected to find within this building horti- 
cultural and agricultural products, minerals, choice specimens of wood 
and lumber, etc., but did not expect to find a collection of paintings more 
extensive than any other on the grounds, outside of the Art Building. 
Not only was the California display attractive from the number and 
variety of the pictures, but the high artistic talent evinced, compared 
favorably with that of Eastern painters. One enthusiastic art critic 
from Paris, after a careful examination of the canvases in the California 
Building, called at the office of the Commission and voluntarily remarked 
that in his opinion the paintings showed a higher degree of originality 
and expression than those in the National Gallery. While this may be 
considered the extreme of encomiums, the complimentary remarks usually 
made showed that the exhibit as a whole was a valuable object-lesson to 
visitors, demonstrating to doubting ones that California possesses all the 
elements of refinement and culture enjoyed by the older States in the 
Union, notwithstanding the fact that the State is comparatively new and 
hitherto known chiefly for her material products. 

The Art Gallery, which occupied the entire north end of the second 
floor of the building and was splendidly lighted from above, was about 
100 feet long and 28 feet wide, and comprised an area of 2,800 square 
feet. Excluding the doorways, it contained 216 feet of running space 12 
feet high, or a total of about 2,600 square feet of wall space. 

There were in this room ninety oil paintings and five watercolors, all 
by California artists, and about one half of them by women. The pict- 
ures were selected in California by a committee of prominent local artists 
expressly for display at Chicago, and represented the best of California 
art. All the prominent artists who have been born in the State, and 
those who have made it their home, displayed in general their most

celebrated works. The intrinsic value of the collection was large, the 
insurance on the paintings alone being about $72,000. 

Partly as descriptive of the exhibit, and partly as showing the favor- 
able comment of the Eastern press, the following from " The Arts," a 
New York publication, is given : "This is the only State building to 
provide an art gallery of its own, selecting the pictures with the same 
care that was bestowed on the Fine Arts Gallery. Norton Bush, who 
has charge of this department, may well feel a pardonable pride over 
the success of his efforts. Many of the artists represented have work in 
the Fine Arts Gallery and are everywhere recognized as artists of ability. 
The collection is said to equal the exhibitions in Boston and New York, 
and this recognition is something of a compensation, for after bringing 
pictures two thousand miles, it is certainly comforting to know that they 
stand the test. Forty out of the one hundred paintings are by artists 
who were born in the State. Thos. Hill, the well-known landscape 
painter, has some strong, well-defined scenes from the mountain dis- 
tricts. Miss Chittenden is the strongest flower painter, and gives to 
these much-abused subjects the character and value they deserve. Mr. 
Bush has made himself known as a tropical painter. Having spent 
considerable time in that locality, he has become familiar with his sub- 
jects and handles them with a confidence that brings out their best 
qualities. The painting of Norton I, by Oscar Kunath, has quite a 
history. * * * ' Old Sailors' Home ' is a broadly painted canvas by 
Lee Lash. Painting of ' Lenten Lilies,' by Mrs. Mary Curtis Richard- 
son, is an exquisite and most harmonious rendering of a young lady. 
The pose is charming, while the color is a perfect symphony of yellows. 
Miss Evelyn McCormick has two pictures in the Fine Arts Gallery ; of 
these, 'Afternoon at Giverny' is the most interesting. The most noted 
painting is Toby E. Rosenthal's 'The Seminary Alarmed.' 'Plucking 
of the Geese,' by Arthur F. Mathews, suggests the Munich school." 

Among other noteworthy paintings in this collection were six by Wm. 
Keith, of San Francisco, including his " California Oaks," " Early Moon- 
rise," "The Deep, Somlare Woods," "Stormy Day in Sonoma County," 
and two loaned by individual owners; also a large canvas, "Sunday in 
California in the Early Days," by the late Chas. C. Nahl, the first painter 
who made his home in California. Sixty artists were represented in the 
gallery by their works. 

In the corridors and offices were paintings to the number of about 
twenty. Besides these, there were in other portions of the building a 
large number of watercolor pictures by Miss Lillian Howard, of Santa 
Cruz, and about two hundred more by Miss Faustina Butler, of San 
Francisco, elsewhere mentioned in this report. 

A collection of twenty-four watercolors, by Henry Chapman Ford, of 
Santa Barbara, of the old missions of California, hung on the south end 
of the gallery, and an equal number of etchings by the same artist hung 
in front of the offices of the Commissioners. 

On the east corridor was a collection of twenty-one views in the 
Hawaiian Islands, being photographs colored and sepia work; also four 
oil paintings, all exhibited by the Oceanic Steamship Company of San 
Francisco. Farther north, on the same corridor, was a series of forty- 
eight photographs of California scenery by W. H. Jackson, of Denver, 
Colorado, together with a collection of eight views of Alaskan scenery,' 
etc., exhibited by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company of San Francisco, 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 55 

and a painting of the city of Santa Cruz, California, exhibited by the 
artist, Frank L. Heath, of Santa Cruz. 

There was shown on the west wall an oil painting, " Driving the Last 
Spike," by Thomas Hill, depicting the scene at the driving of the last 
spike that connected the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railways in 
1868. 

One very pleasing feature was a series of seven paintings by Reed and 
Gross, of Chicago, showing typical California scenes, the canvases being so 
large as to attract general notice. The three on the north gallery were 
each 20 by 30 feet in size, the central one being a faithful representation 
of San Francisco harbor and the Golden Gate, painted at the instance 
and expense of Vice-President Phelan of the California World's Fair 
Commission. To the left was " Christmas at Pasadena," representing 
in the foreground ornnge trees loaded with fruit, with flowers, palms, 
and other semi-tropical plants, and a bird's-eye view of Pasadena and 
prominent driveways in the distance. The cost of this painting was 
borne by residents of Pasadena and vicinity. To the right was a paint- 
ing of equal size of " Vina Vineyard," the largest vineyard in the world, 
belonging to the Leland Stanford estate and comprising about four 
thousand acres in vines. Along the northwest corridor were smaller 
paintings of the interior of the winery at Vina, the Leland Stanford Jr. 
L^niversity at Palo Alto, and "New Year's at Del Monte." In the 
middle of the east corridor hung a painting about 20 by 30 feet, " Irriga- 
tion at Kern Delta," showing the splendid s^-stem of irrigation in use on 
the property of the Kern County Land Company. The town of Bakers- 
field appears in the distance. 

Photographs, sketches, watercolors, and other works of art hung in 
the different county exhibits, adding materially to the general effect of 
the building. 

woman's department. 

What was known as the " Woman's Department " occupied, for the 
general exhibit, a space 117 feet long by 19 feet wide, or an area of 2.223 
square feet, on the west gallery, at the northern end of the building. 
Besides this there were smaller apartments, forming partial reception- 
rooms and offices, in the northwest corner, containing about 600 square 
feet, making a total of 2.800 square feet. Both floor and wall space were 
well utilized. The exhibit was gathered from all portions of the State, 
and from homes rather than from business houses, the collection, prepa- 
ration, and management being under the sole charge of the California 
Board of Lady Managers. This Board was created by a resolution of 
the State World's Fair Commission, there being one member for each 
congressional district, and was constituted as follows: Mrs. E. 0. Smith, 
of San Jose, President; ]\Iiss Flora M. Kimball, National City, First 
Vice-President; Mrs. A. M. Marsellus, Alameda, Second Vice-President; 
Mrs. A. ]\L Reed, Laytonville; Mrs. V. S. Bradley, Nevada City; Mrs. 
E. S. Cummins, San Francisco, and Mrs. Olive C. Cole, of Los Angeles. 
Mrs. Cole resigned about the time the Exposition opened, and at a later 
date Mrs. Amanda P. Wiggins, also of Los Angeles, was appointed as 
her successor. Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Marsellus, Mrs. Bradley, 5lrs. Cum- 
mins, and Mrs. Wiggins remained at Chicago during the entire six 
months of the Exposition, actively engaged in the several lines into 
which they had agreed to divide the work of this department. The 



56 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

other members visited the Exposition at different times, and afforded 
all possible aid, the same as they had rendered at their homes. 

With perhaps the single exception of that from Illinois, the California 
exhibit was the most complete and representative display of woman's 
work at the Exposition. The exhibit space proper was subdivided into 
three sections, the Eschscholtzia and Wildflower rooms each occupying 
areas about 20 feet square at the southern end, the entire remaining 
space, up to the Art Gallery, constituting one room. 

The Eschscholtzia or Poppy Room was denominated the cream of 
the Woman's Department. It was projected and planned by Mrs. E. 0. 
Smith and Mrs. A. M. Marsellus, the chief object being to honor the 
California poppy, or State flower, and to show the decorative effects that 
may be obtained from its different yellow shades, varying from the 
lightest lemon tint to the deepest orange. Seven shades of yellow were 
used in the room. It was considered a daring attempt to combine these 
in the decorations of one apartment in such a manner as to retain the 
effect of harmony and yet make it pleasing to the eye, but the attempt 
was successful. During the last few months of the Exposition it was 
hardly possible to pass this exhibit without elbowing through an admir- 
ing crowd. The ceiling of the room was somewhat in the shape of a 
mansard roof, the sloping sides being decorated with garlands and 
wreaths of poppies. The center canvas was an attractive painting of a 
girl, representing Flora, and two cupids on the wing scattering poppies 
broadcast, indicative of the countless numbers of these flowers in Cali- 
fornia, and of the State's material blessings, which are free to all. The 
decorations in the room were in white and gold, but the poppy reigned 
supreme. There were rich and beautiful portieres, divans, screens, sofa 
pillows, jardinieres, etc., all embroidered or painted with the native 
golden flower. The Graham Decorative. Art Company, of San Francisco, 
furnished portieres of white silk, heavily embroidered. An excellent 
piece of drawn work on yellow silk was secured from Mexican women, 
who excel in this branch of needlework. Two parlors of Native Daugh- 
ters sent banners embroidered in silk and gold, while cushions, drapes, 
and foot-rests were contributed by women in different parts of the State. 
There were portraits of Sybil Sanderson and Eleanor Calhoun, native 
California daughters who have become distinguished in the lines of the 
opera and the drama. A telling poem on the California popp}^, penned 
by a California authoress, was embroidered in gold on a silken banner 
and suspended neaj the wall. Among other interesting features in the 
room were a piano, finished in white and gold and decorated with Cali- 
fornia scenes, loaned by C. C. Hornung, of San Francisco; a light gold- 
tinted carpet of much richness, furnished by Mrs. M. H. de Young; a 
painting of poppies by Maude Nourse; an Indian basket, filled to 
overflowing with poppies and resting upon a handsome table of Califor- 
nia onyx, and Angora rugs of great beauty, loaned by C. P. Bailey, 
of San Jose. 

Adjoining the room devoted to the State flower was the Wildflower 
Room, which served, besides other purposes, as a gentle reminder of the 
freshness and beauty of rural life in California. The walls were covered 
with draped folds of olive-green silk, while the corresponding draperies 
on the ceiling centered in a golden sun. The hanging draperies were of 
olive-colored brocaded satin, edged with golden fringe. Over the green 
background on both walls and ceiling was a network of twigs and small

branches of trees. Artificial California poppies were placed here and 
there, singly and in bunches. On the walls hung a number of large 
paintings in watercolors of California wildtlowers, there being a hundred 
or more varieties represented. The exhibit as a whole comprised thirty- 
six separate paintings, loaned by Mrs. Marianne Mathieu of San Fran- 
cisco. The collection was botanical, the artist having given twenty 
years or more to painting and classifying them. A delicate pattern of 
grill- work in wood, painted in white and gold, and rich portieres formed 
an archway and draperies for the opening between the Eschscholtzia 
and Wildflower rooms. A beautiful upright piano of Circassian walnut, 
donated by George P. Bent of Chicago to three members of the Ladies' 
Board, occupied a corner of the room and was at all times open for the 
use of visitors. 

The remaining space, about 80 feet in length, formed one large exhi- 
bition-room for general articles of woman's handiwork. This room was 
inclosed on three sides, the front offering a clear sweep of the exhibits 
from almost any point in the northern end of the building. A neat 
carpet covered the floor; the walls and uprights were appropriately dec- 
orated, while easy-chairs were numerous, the general effect of the room 
being suggestive of comfort and hospitality. Large glass cases inclosing" 
sea-moss, ocean shells, keramic work, embroidery by Indian and IMex- 
ican women, cocoons, etc., were arranged on the floor, while paintings of 
all sizes and kinds hung on the walls. The sea-mosses and shells were 
contained in two cases, both exhibits being greatly admired by Eastern 
visitors. That from Monterey County was inclosed in a unique case of 
redwood with an oval glass top, donated by the Pacific Improvement 
Company. Under the glass was a semi-pyramid covered with white 
silk, the delicate moss in vari-colored shades being laid thereon. The 
display from Santa Cruz was artistically arranged, the pressed moss 
being laid on white satin. Both counties also displayed a variety of 
shells. One peculiarly attractive object was a portiere 10 feet in length 
and 7 feet in width, made entirely of diminutive sea-shells, by Mrs. 
S. M. "Walker, of Santa Monica. 

A case containing painted china, set near the middle of the room, was 
much admired by lovers of keramic art. Mrs. Vincent Neale, of San 
Rafael, and Miss Hall, of Alameda, were the principal exhibitors of their 
own work. Other contributors were Mrs. Wm. E. Fisher and Mrs. Susan 
Sroufe, of San Francisco, and Miss Lulu Weatherwax, of Placerville. 

A novel feature was a redwood piano made by H. Schomberg & Co., 
of Los Gatos. The entire instrument, even to the sounding-board, was 
constructed of redwood. Manufacturers had heretofore claimed that no 
material other than spruce was suitable for a sounding-board, but the 
rich tone of this instrument was a practical refutation of that state- 
ment. The case showed the artistic effects possible in curly redwood, 
polished merely enough to bring out the natural grain. 

Two beautiful, large easels were the work of the ladies of Oakland. 
On one of the easels was exhibited a cabinet made of twenty-eight kinds 
of native woods from Alameda County, containing silk from cocoons 
raised by Mrs. Wm. Kirk, of Oakland. A quantity of the cocoons was 
also on exhibition, they being considered of a high commercial grade. 
One large case was filled with specimens of drawn work by Mexican and 
Indian women, and articles of needlework too numerous to mention from 
those most skilled in fancy work and plain sewing. A case of paintings 



68 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

of California birds and flowers on ivorine, by Mrs. M. A. Fish, of Benicia, 
formed a very pleasing part of the exhibit. An inlaid table of native 
woods was forwarded by A. Rahlves, of Westport. Lake County con- 
tributed two handsome showcases. 

One of the most interesting features in this department was an elabo- 
rately carved mantel of curly redwood. There was a combined eft'ect of 
massiveness and richness, demonstrating to a striking degree the possi- 
bilities of redwood in household decorations. On the upper portion of 
the mantel, on each side of the oval mirror, were arranged nine medal- 
lions of woods indigenous to Alameda County, or eighteen medallions 
in all, while the mirror itself was set in native woods. Just below the 
mirror was an onyx clock, so constructed that on the dial each hour was 
marked with a circle, and in each circle was a picture of some scenic 
point in Alameda. On the front face of the base of the clock was in- 
scribed in golden letters, "Dawn of Woman's Era; Time to Reap the 
Harvest." In panels on each side of the dial were carved figures repre- 
senting Dawn and the Reaper. The mantel and clock, together with 
■other articles, were contributed by ladies of Alameda. 

The pictures on the walls were numerous, and embraced novel and 
meritorious works of art. Probably the one that attracted the most 
attention was a large canvas painted by C. Kahler, and owned by the 
late Mrs. Kate E. Johnson of San Francisco, the title being "My Wife's 
Lovers." It contained figures of forty-two large Angora cats, being 
only a fraction of the total number in possession of the owner, and 
represented these household pets in every conceivable attitude of play- 
fulness. Two oil paintings of Indian babies, "Little Mendocino" and 
■" The Interrupted Bath," were by Grace Hudson of Mendocino County, 
who has made a study of Indian subjects. In the general collection 
were landscapes, portraits, floral studies, buildings, war scenes, etc. 
Several oil paintings were loaned by Mrs. M. S. Brown of San Jose 
(specimens of whose work were accepted in the Fine Arts Department 
in the Woman's Building), by Mrs. Ellen B. Farr of Pasadena, Miss 
Kate E. Cole of Oakland, and Miss Ida Coates of San Jose. A fine 
display of oil and watercolors was sent by the Ladies' Board of Alameda 
County. Watercolor paintings were contributed by Miss K. M. Casey 
of Los Angeles; a tapestry picture by Mrs. Henry Krebs of San Fran- 
cisco; and a life-sized portrait of President Cleveland in pyrogravure, 
or fire-etching, by Miss Lillian O'Hara of San Francisco. Among other 
artists exhibiting in the department were Mrs. Maude Nourse of San 
Jose, Mrs. F. M. Stone of San Francisco, Mrs. M. Ashmead of Los 
Angeles, Mrs. M. K. Irving of Colfax, and Miss Alva C. Clapp of Lodi. 

There were several noticeable works in embroidered tapestry. Two 
were by Mrs. J. F. Jenkins of Los Angeles, one " Mary Queen of Scots," 
and the other, " Weighing of the Deer," or " Returning from the Chase." 
The latter was a comparatively small picture, but required years to 
■construct, there being a total of about 1,250,000 stitches in the piece. 
The work was so finely drawn that at a distance visitors were apt to 
consider it an oil painting. The former was 6 by 4 feet in size, and 
represented the surrender of Mary Queen of Scots to the confederate 
lords in 1567. In this study, which took eight years to execute, there 
were twenty-five men and women, four horses, four banners, and a large 
tree, with foreground of grass, shrubbery, and other accessories. The 
queen was depicted as mounted on a horse elegantly caparisoned, her 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 59 

costume being of royal purple. Highlanders in bright Scottish plaids, 
with battle-axes and spears, followed as mounted attendants. A smaller 
tapestry picture, but of equal merit, was a " Scene in the Harem," by 
Mrs. A, Mangenberg of Santa Cruz, and still another, " Columbus before 
Ferdinand and Isabella," executed by Sisters in the Convent of Notre 
Dame at San Jose, was considered so excellent that after the close of the 
Exposition it was ordered sent to the Pope at Rome by Mrs. Cain of Ala- 
meda, who was instrumental in having the work done. 

Art work in another. line was represented by a collection of native 
flowers on native woods, loaned by Miss L. J. Reeves of Ukiah. The 
collection comprised one hundred and tw'enty-eight specimens of wood, 
mostly redwood, well selected and highly polished, a few of them being 
so beautiful in themselves that they were exhibited as natural land- 
scapes. On most of them, however, were painted two or more varieties 
of wildflowers. Several splendid specimens of redM^ood burl were con- 
tributed by ditFerent California women. There were many other articles 
in this room and in those used as semi-offices, the exhibit as a whole 
comprising almost the entire range of woman's work. 

Considered as a portion of the Woman's Department, but not the 
work of California women, was a collection of oriental rugs, tapestry, 
and embroidery, imported by M. B. Mihran, of San Francisco. The 
sixteen pieces were hung about the galleries in the northern end of the 
building. Included in the assortment was a royal antique Iran rug, 18 
by 7 feet; a royal Ispahan rug, 14 feet square; Persian tapestry of the 
sixteenth century, and a Kurdistan Sine rug, 6 by 4 feet, said to con- 
tain over eight hundred stitches to the square inch. 

The work of the members of the Ladies' Board at Chicago was of a 
varied character. In addition to the care of exhibits in their depart- 
ment, they assisted very materially in the receptions and entertain- 
ments given by the State Commission, besides giving several receptions 
exclusively under their management. Among the more noted was the 
enjoyable one tendered Mrs. Madge Morris Wagner, of San Diego, the 
gifted author of the poem, " New Liberty Bell," that suggested the 
making of the great Columbian Liberty Bell; the reception to the 
twenty-one prize children of the public schools of California, who were 
given an excursion to the Exposition by the San Francisco " Examiner"; 
reception to the Western Association of California Pioneers, and to the 
different musical geniuses who arrived from California from time to 
time. The ladies lent a helping hand to the sick and weary who 
entered the building, and in that very efTective way reached the hearts 
of large numbers of women in other States and countries. 

Several thousand beautiful souvenirs prepared by the California 
Board at their own expense were distributed at Chicago. Arrangements 
were made through the Board for the appearance in the Woman's Build- 
ing of a number of talented women orators and musicians, thereby 
maintaining the position of California women in other than material 
lines. 

Before going to Chicago the members of the Board were energetic in 
promoting interest in the California exhibit by appearing before vari- 
ous organizations of World's Fair workers. They visited twenty-seven 
different counties and formed thirty World's Fair Auxiliaries for 
women's work. These societies aided in stimulating local commission- 
ers to greater activity, and were ingenious in devising plans for raising 



60 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

money and designing novelties in the line of exhibits. In several cases 
where county appropriations had not been secured, members of the 
Board appeared before the Supervisors and were instrumental in obtain- 
ing the same. Among these were San Francisco with an appropriation 
of $10,000, San Mateo with $3,000, Humboldt with $4,000, and Sacra- 
mento with an increased appropriation of $2,000. 

From the beginning of the work to the close of the Exposition much 
aid and encouragement was received from the California members of 
the National Board of Lady Managers and their alternates, especially 
from Mrs. James R. Deane, Mrs. P. P. Rue, and Mrs. I. L. Requa. 

STATE WOOD AND FORESTRY EXHIBIT. 

The wood and forestry exhibit in the California Building was installed 
on the west-side walls of the second floor, opposite the rotunda. It cov- 
ered a wall surface averaging 84 feet long and 14 feet high, or 1,175 
square feet. Generally speaking, it was a duplicate of the collective 
State exhibit in the Forestry Building. Sixty-four kinds of wood were 
represented by more than one hundred specimens varying in width from 
6 or 8 inches to 6 or more feet. 

As far as was possible, the exhibit contained samples of all the valu- 
able and beautiful woods of California, together with their foliage, cones, 
and barks; also many interesting photographs of lumber scenes. It 
was intended to illustrate the great variety of California woods and 
their adaptability to building purposes, as well as their wonderful 
beauty when used in the manufacture of furniture and other decora- 
tive woodwork. All specimens were plainly labeled with both the 
popular and botanical names, in order that visitors who desired could 
study them at will. Among the species which attracted most attention 
were the redwood, California black walnut, and sequoia gigantea or 
California "big tree." The larger specimens of redwood burl were 
particularly interesting to visitors. The uses to which slabs of curly 
redwood, so hard that they can scarcely be chopped, and so heavy that 
they will sink like stone, could be put in making fancy furniture and 
veneers, proved especially surprising. 

The gnarled and twisted madrone was brought out as a fancy wood. 
Even the Monterey cypress was shown worked up into remarkably fine 
boards. Specimens of sycamore, with their beautiful soft sheen, formed 
an interesting portion of the exhibit. There were also boards of maple 
of the straight and bird's-eye varieties, polished until the surfaces were 
as bright as a mirror; white cedar boards, with their smooth, close grain; 
while the manzanita, with their blood-red hearts and white borderings, 
came in for a goodly share of praise. The fact that eight different kinds 
of oak were represented was one of the marvels. Laurel, myrtle, ash, 
and walnut, the last exceedingly rich in its markings and in the variety 
of shades from black and brown to yellow, were included in the collec- 
tion. 

As in the California exhibit at the Forestry Building, there were also 
many strange and peculiar instances of figured boards, limbs, and 
trunks of trees. A human heart was outlined in one specimen ; in others 
could be seen shapes of animals, birds, etc., while upraised on seemingly 
natural legs was the well-defined head of an elephant, the wood forming 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 61 

this specimen being manzanita. One piece of bark of the sequoia gigan- 
tea was 2^ feet in diameter. 

Thomas Hatch, the collector of the exhibit, divided his time between 
the California and Forestry Buildings, and often entertained visitors by- 
showing them his novel and apparently correct method of discovering 
animals and other figures in trees. His experience had been that 
wherever he found a well-defined contour on the bark or tree, the same 
would appear in the wood. 

The samples of a number of the woods, such as walnut, redwood, and 
maple, were critically examined by Eastern manufacturers of artistic 
furniture and by skilled veneerers. Owing to the beautiful grains and 
the happy blendings and high luster shown to be possible, immediate 
orders were often given for different sorts, especially for the redwood 
burl, the early redwood, and the black walnut. Mr. Hatch, who has 
been a worker in fancy woods for thirty-three years, states that before 
the collection of this exhibit had gotten well under way, choice burl was 
selling for about 10 cents a square foot of one inch in thickness. After 
the close of the Exposition, it was found that the demand in San Fran- 
cisco from Eastern people, who had seen the beauty and possibilities of 
the product, had been so great that there were but few really choice 
specimens in the entire city, and that the price of burl had risen to 
nearly $1 a square foot. Figured redwood from the body of the tree, 
that used to go to the fire, is now being carefully saved, and dealers are 
holding it at a high price. Many inquiries were made regarding the 
California walnut, which grows in many parts of the State almost as 
rank as the thistle. For veneering purposes, one square foot of French 
walnut one thirtieth of an inch thick commands about 25 cents. Careful 
tests in this State seem to indicate that the California walnut exceeds 
the French in luster and will retain its luster longer. 

Taken as a whole, inquiry shows that the combined exhibit in the 
State Building and in the Forestry Building has already resulted in 
increasing the commercial uses of California woods, and will undoubt- 
edly increase them more rapidly in the future, thereby proving of direct 
benefit to all persons connected with lumber interests in the State. There 
was shown to be a wide market in the East and in Europe for fancy 
woods, provided the samples are well selected and can be obtained at a 
fair price.

WELLS, FARGO & CO.'S EXHIBIT. 

"Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express occupied the extreme southwestern por- 
tion of the gallery, being a space 72 feet long and 19 feet wide, or an 
area of 1,368 square feet. The exhibit was largely an historical one, 



62 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION, 

being intended to portray in a graphic manner how, in pioneer days, 
the messengers of Wells, Fargo & Co. braved dangers, and even death, 
to protect the property intrusted to their care. On the walls were hung 
portraits of Henry Wells, William G. Fargo, and other founders of the 
express business in the West, together with those of C. P. Huntington, 
Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Mark Hopkiirs, Directors of the 
company; also of all its eight Presidents, including John J. Valentine, 
who was elected President in 1892. 

There were articles showing the growth of the company from its 
organization in 1852 to 1893, especially its banking and express system, 
and that of the special letter carrier and delivery service for the benefit 
of isolated settlers and miners in out-of-the-way camps, the letter carry- 
ing being independent of, but to a certain extent auxiliary to, that of 
the United States mails. There were also shown the methods employed 
in the regular mail service of the famous Pony Express, which was 
established in 1860 to anticipate the regular Government service, and 
by which weekly trips, for letters only, were made between St. Joseph, 
Mo., and Sacramento, Cal., ten days being usually occupied in the 
journey. 

The partition wall to the north and the space over and around the 
windows at the west were covered with photographs, crayons, cartoons, 
etc., of individuals and robbery scenes, together with implements used 
by robbers to open ti'easure-boxes, and weapons carried by the armed 
messengers who guarded the gold and other express matter. Placards 
and posters showed the gruesome side of early express life. One placard 
stated that from 1870 to 1884 the total loss of the company, incident to 
robberies, reached the large sum of $927,726. During this period there 
were three hundred and thirteen stage robberies, thirty-four attempted 
robberies, twenty-three burglaries, four train robberies, and four attempts 
at train robbery. Sixteen stage robbers were killed by messengers, and 
seven hanged by citizens; two of the company's guards were killed and 
six wounded; also four drivers killed and four wounded during the same 
period. 

There was a poster offering $10,000 reward for the arrest and con- 
viction of Evans and Son tag, the notorious train robbers; photographs 
and scenes about the San Francisco office after the great nitro-glycerine 
explosion of April 16, 1866, in which four persons, including Superin- 
tendent Knight, lost their lives; a picture of George Hackett, a widely 
known shotgun messenger, who has more than once made it unpleasant 
for robbers; Black Bart's valise, captured after his last exploit in Cala- 
veras County in 1883, being his twenty-seventh stage robbery during an 
eight years' career; a picture of " Chips " (Pillsbury Hodgkins), a daring 
man of the early mining days, who served with the compan}^, princi- 
pally as messenger, for forty consecutive years; picture of Hank Monk, 
a favorite stage driver of the Sierra, who became somewhat famous when, 
in 1859, he had Horace Greeley for a passenger, it being during this rapid 
ride that he uttered the afterwards popular phrase, " Keep your seat, 
Horace; I'll get you there on time"; picture of " Shotgun Taylor," the 
driver of reckless daring, who, in 1865, drove Speaker Schuyler Colfax 
and his distinguished party down the Sierra, a distance of fifty miles, 
in less than four hours. There were also displayed broken treasure- 
boxes, a bullion bag, bullion sandal, the oldest railroad pass in 
existence, a bogus bar of gold, leather ''grip-sack," sundry old-fashioned 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 63 

pistols, "pony" stamps, express franks, money orders, waybills, state- 
ments, etc. 

The humorous side of express life was recorded in a rare collection of 
bric-a-brac, consisting of bullion bags, cast-off clothing contributed by 
various expressmen throughout the country, tin cans, pouches, old hats, a 
bridle, saddle, etc., all suspended by a string from the ceiling. Two 
frames mounted on stands stood near each end of the exhibit room, a 
number of the interesting and curious articles previously mentioned, 
together with others, being neatly hung on the two sides thereof. There 
were chairs within the inclosure for the convenience of visitors, while on 
tables near at hand were catalogues for free distribution, giving a list 
and description of the articles exhibited. 

HISTORICAL EXHIBIT. 

The Historical Department occupied the south gallery of the California 
Building, with one of the most interesting of the varied displays, cover- 
ing, as it did, the first, or Aboriginal, era — the period prior to any 
attempts at civilizing the native Indians; the second, or Mission, era, 
from the advent of the Franciscan friars throughout nearly a century, 
during which time the numerous missions for which California is noted 
were constructed ; and the later, or Pioneer, era. Many hours could be 
spent in this exhibit studying the past of a marvelous State. Major 
Horace Bell, of Los Angeles, contributed a large selection of Spanish 
documents bearing upon the early history of California, translated 
expressly for this purpose. There was an oil painting of "^ Roxas," the 
oldest Mission Indian, who died recently at Santa Cruz, aged 123 years; 
a German Bible, dated 1725; a gun carried by General Fremont's guide, 
Godey; a curiously carved Mexican cane; a large collection of Indian 
baskets, jugs, mortars, and other aboriginal utensils; fourteen large 
paintings, "Stations of the Cross," the work of early Indian converts; 
an old oaken door, with brass bearings, also an altar candlestick and a 
tile from Mission San Gabriel; a quaint wheel-chime, made by Indian 
converts, and a plumb weight, used in the building of Mission San Juan 
Capistrano; an ancient carved bench from Mission San Fernando; a 
section of joist from Ventura Mission; music book used by an Indian 
choir at Mission Santa Cruz; photographs of Governor Pio Pico, and of 
old Mexican buildings and scenes. 

The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce forwarded a stufifed pelican 
from San Diego Bay. Ex-Commissioner John Daggett, of San Fran- 
cisco, contributed a large and complete collection of Indian curios, 
embracing wearing apparel, ornaments, food products, and utensils 
illustrating methods of procuring and preparing the same, baskets, stone 
and horn implements, fish nets, bows, arrows, wampum, head dress, pipes, 
baby trinkets, etc. Don Marco Forster, of San Juan Capistrano, sent an 
original manuscript of Padre .Junipero Serra, and an old Andalusian 
blunderbuss. Henry Chapman Ford, of Santa Barbara, contributed a 
complete set of watercolor paintings of the twenty-four California mis- 
sions. Mrs. Mary E. Hart, of Los Angeles, custodian of the Historical 
Exhibit, showed a collection of feather hair-ornaments of Digger Indians, 
and an adobe brick from Sutter's Fort. 

The Historical Society of Southern California sent a life-size portrait 
of Governor Pio Pico, a collection of framed engravings, Spanish docu- 



64 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

ments, Indian soapstone vases, ollas, etc. James D. Phelan, Vice-Presi- 
dent of the California World's Fair Commission, sent a large collection 
of paintings and engravings, illustrating the growth and progress of 
San Francisco from 1846 to the present time. Don Jose Wolf skill sent 
two large paintings, " Typical Spanish Homes of Southern California." 
Donna Elena Wolfskill contributed Spanish drawn work of Mission 
Indians, Spanish mantilla, Mexican pottery, Indian baskets, wood carv- 
ing, etc. Pio Pico sent a Spanish embroidered wedding garment and an 
ancient muffler. K. H. Wade of Los Angeles contributed some large 
photogravures of the old missions. 

There was an old-time Mexican plow from Bakersfield; petrifactions, 
etc., from San Pedro; original manuscripts by James W. Marshall, 
loaned by Miss M. Kelly, of San Francisco; pioneer relics from Colton, 
and iron utensils, made by Indian blacksmiths, from San Juan Cap- 
istrano. The San Diego Chamber of Commerce sent an Indian mortar 
and a cannon-ball from the bottom of the bay. Don Antonio Coronel 
of Los Angeles contributed an exact model, about 8 feet long and 4 feet 
wide, of the San Luis Rey Mission. From the Southern California 
Science Association of Los Angeles there was an exhibit embracing 
botany, conchology, entomology, and ornithology. 

The collection as a whole was considered by Professor F. W. Putnam, 
Chief of the Department of Ethnology and Archseology at the World's 
Columbian Exposition, so valuable that he was a frequent visitor to the 
California Building. His coveting the exhibits proved of no avail, for 
they were mostly owned by loyal residents of the State and were neither 
for gift nor for sale. 

STATE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT. 

One of the displays in the California Building that was in the nature 
of a surprise to Eastern visitors, was the collective educational exhibit. 
People who had not given the subject careful study knew California as 
a gold-producing, horticultural, and agricultural State, but supposed 
her deficient in educational facilities. When, therefore, they found by 
examination that the contrary was true, their complimentary remarks, 
to the effect that California stood among the first of the States in nearly 
every department of the Exposition, were very pleasing to residents of 
the Golden State. No other State building, with one possible exception, 
contained an educational exhibit, especially of public schools, compar- 
able with that in the California Building. 

The special educational committee selected by the California World's 
Fair Commission did not aim at securing an extensive exhibit. They 
sought rather to select individual schools in the various sections of the 
State that would serve as types and indicate the character of buildings, 
equipment, and quality of instruction, so far as photographs, drawings, 
and illustrative work could give a clear idea of present conditions, 
and make a showing that would be ample and varied enough fairly to 
set forth the educational facilities of the State, and demonstrate that 
the system here maintained is equal to the best. 

The exhibit of the public school system of the State contained most 
complete and clear statistical charts of difierent counties, showing the 
following general statistics: Area in square miles, population at the 
census of 1890, assessed valuation of all property in each county, 
valuation of school property, expenditures for school purposes during 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 65 

1892, cost per capita on enrollment, number of schools of one depart- 
ment, number of schools of two departments or more, number of high 
schools, number of private schools, average months of school during 
the year, number of school district libraries, and value of school appa- 
ratus in each county. Following these interesting statements there 
appeared on the same chart historical and comparative statistics, giving 
the number of schools in each county, annual expenses for school pur- 
poses, and total valuation of school property for the year 1860, 1870, 
1880, and 1892; also the number of pupils in each county during these 
years, including not only the number according to the census reports, 
but also the number enrolled and the average attendance. Another 
section of the chart gave the number of teachers employed, both male 
and female, and the average monthly salaries of such teachers in 1860, 
1870, 1880, and 1892. Lastly, there appeared the annual expenses of 
each county for school purposes during 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1892, and 
the total valuation of school property for the j^ears named. 

Thirty-two counties out of the fifty-four in the State at the time the 
educational reports were collated, were represented by statistical charts, 
relief maps, specimens of drawing, written work of pupils, and entomo- 
logical, mineral, and botanical collections. Not all of the counties pre- 
pared as full a list as the above, but virtually all were represented by 
the statistical charts, which were practical object-lessons of great value, 
and other kindred exhibits. 

Among State institutions represented in the exhibits were the Uni- 
versity of California, Lick Observatory (the latter being the astronomical 
department of the University), and the State Normal Schools at Los 
Angeles, San Jose, and Chico. There were photographs of the exteriors 
and interiors of these buildings, together with specimens of college and 
school work, statistical records, reports, etc. From the Lick Observa- 
tory were shown photographs of the location of the Observatory on 
Mount Hamilton, and of the diiferent telescopes and other instruments, 
and especially photographs of heavenly bodies taken through the great 
o6-inch telescope, this being the largest refracting telescope in the world. 
There was a full series of State text-books, furnished by the State Board 
of Education, together with official blanks and reports of Superintend- 
ents of Public Instruction. 

The cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Jose, Stockton, and San 
Francisco were special contributors to the general display. The work of 
the San Francisco schools was simply embodied in a statistical chart, 
the data being arranged by the Superintendent in charge of the educa- 
tional exhibit at Chicago. The schools of the other cities furnished a 
goodly quota of exhibits. Oakland and San Jose contributed written 
work of pupils in all grades, the exhibit of Oakland being in bound 
volumes. 

The public and private kindergartens made an excellent showing. 
The Golden Gate Kindergarten Association of San Francisco, represent- 
ing thirty-six schools, all under the general sujjervision of Mrs. Sarah B. 
Cooper, President of the International Kindergarten Union, naturally 
contributed the largest number and variety of exhibits. There were 
photographs of buildings, rooms, typical pupils, classes, a full line of 
children's work, and official reports by Mrs. Cooper. The Silver Street 
Kindergarten of San Francisco showed specimens of remarkal:»le work 
by children, also formal reports of the institution. Emma Marwedel,

the pioneer trainer who died late in 1893, furnished a series of form, color, 
number, and language charts, together with inventions of children, and 
books and papers elucidating her particular system of kindergarten work. 

The Peabody Kindergarten of San Jose, the City of San Diego, and 
Humboldt County contributed work by children. 

Of the private educational institutions in the State the following were 
represented: Leland Stanford Jr. University in Santa Clara County, 
Mills College in Alameda County, and the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art 
and Cogswell Polytechnic College in San Francisco. The exhibit from 
the latter institution was especially admired, consisting in part of pupils' 
work in wood and iron, wood-carving, mechanical drawings, designing, 
modeling, and sewing. 

The educational exhibit as a whole occupied nearly one half of the 
east gallery, extending from near the middle of the building to the 
extreme southern end, together with an area of 720 square feet at the 
east end of the historical exhibit. Including aisles, the former space 
was 1194 feet long and 19 feet wide, or 2,270 square feet, making a total 
for the entire exhibit of 2,990 square feet. A series of wide tables 
extended along the east wall of the building, under the windows, samples 
of school work and photographs of buildings, etc., being placed thereon, 
and also on the wall space between the windows. Separated by an 
aisle from this line of displays was a series of nine redwood tables, 12 
feet long and 6 feet wide, placed crosswise of the gallery. From the 
middle of each table, and extending the full length thereof, rose upright 
frames, about 6 feet high, finished on both sides. The table tops and 
uprights combined afforded about 2,000 square feet of space, which was 
all utilized by charts, photographs, drawings, etc. Taken altogether, 
the walls and tables furnished a total surface of about 3,500 square feet; 
yet this was hardly sufficient for an adequate showing of the great amount 
of educational material. 

MISCELLANEOUS EXHIBITS, ETC. 

The growth and development of religious institutions on the Pacific 
Coast was illustrated in a series of photographs and other pictures, col- 
lected and arranged by Rev. A. J. Nelson, of San Francisco, Secretary of 
the Religious Committee selected by this Commission, and consisting of 
Bishop William F. Nichols, Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger, Father Peter C. 
Yorke, and Bishop C. H. Fowler. There were views of localities, begin- 
ning with Drake's Bay, including the scene of the first church service in 
San Francisco and the monument to Junipero Serra, erected by Mrs. 
Leland Stanford at Monterey, and passing on to the present locations of 
churches; pictures of houses of worship, ranging from the rude Indian 
tepee, the old Missions, and the first church building in San Francisco, 
to the elegant and costly structures of to-day; and portraits of persons, 
embracing the medicine-man, Juan Roderimues Gabrillo, Father Junipero 
Serra, and many divines now prominent in the various denominations. 
There were also specimen religious publications, from some of the earliest 
issues by different sects down to the Salvation Army's " War Cry." 

In the south galler}^ near the east corner and back of the educational 
exhibit, the " Overland Monthly" of San Francisco had installed in a 
neat case a full set of the magazine, handsomely bound, together with 
original illustrations, sketches, half-tones, etc. 



EEPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 67 

On the east side of the building, Cahill & Hall, of San Francisco, built 
and operated, partly as an exhibit, two of their patent hydro-steam ele- 
vators, each of wdiich was guaranteed to raise to the top floor 4,000 
pounds at a load and to travel at a speed of two trips per minute. 

In the southern end of the building the Traffic Manager kept his tables 
well supplied with literature descriptive of the State, time-tables, maps, 
charts, etc., all of which were distributed gratis. The same office served 
as a bureau of information. The two great telegraph companies also 
had desks and instruments on the lower floor. 

On the gallery floor, over the east entrance, was a free reading-room, 
where many of the principal Californian newspapers were kept on file 
for the use of callers. A post office adjoined the reading-room, and near 
by was a souvenir department, under charge of Mrs. V. S. Bradley, 
maintained chiefly for the purpose of aflording visitors an opportunity 
to secure Californian novelties. 

The most characteristic and beautiful souvenir on the Exposition 
grounds, it seems to have been commonly conceded, was the official 
badge issued by the California World's Fair Commission. It was about 
2^ by l-f inches in size, made of durable metal and triple-plated with 
gold. The top represented a radiant sun, half sunk below the horizon, 
typical of the sunset land. Below was a bar, with '' California " on its 
face in black enameled letters. Suspended therefrom was a well-modeled 
bear, indicative of the fact that the independence of California was first 
declared by means of a " bear flag." Beneath his feet was a minor bar, 
on which appeared in enameled black letters the words " Columbian 
Exposition." Suspended from this latter bar was a small half globe, 
representing the Western Hemisphere, with the figures "1893" thereon, 
denoting the year of the great Exposition. 

STATE BOOK, '' RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA." 

Chief among the publications distributed at the Exposition was an 
illustrated pamphlet of about 150 pages, issued under a special Act of 
the Legislature empowering the Governor to have prepared for distribu- 
tion at Chicago a volume expository of the " Resources of California " — 
which was the title of the work. 

The credit of securing the passage of the Act, which appropriated 
$25,000 for expenses of printing, etc., is due to the California Press 
Association. E. W. Maslin, at that time Secretary of the State Board 
of Trade, was chosen as editor. The following extract from Governor 
Markham's introduction indicates the character of the work: "Accord- 
ing to the best advice I could obtain, it was thought best to present a 
succinct description of each county, which should include such an account 
of its area, population, chief industry of the inhabitants, climate and 
soils, as would assist the intending settler, before leaving his home in 
the East for California, in forming his judgment as to which part of the 
State offered immediate advantages in the pursuit of the vocation he 
chose to follow. * * * There has been no attempt at mere literary 
display. The effort has been in the direction of marshaling facts, from 
which the reader may draw his own conclusions. The various special 
subjects have been treated by gentlemen of State-wide reputation, each 
of whom is especially fitted by experience and learning to write upon 
the matter submitted to him." 



68 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

In accordance with the plans outlined, the editor prepared a clear and 
careful description of all counties in the State, which occupied about two 
thirds of the volume. Following this were special articles on many- 
industrial subjects, the table of contents giving the list thus: "Topogra- 
phy of the State," by T. C. Judkins; "Climate of California, and its 
Economic Value," by N. P. Chipman; "Climate and Climatic Features 
of California," by James A. Barwick; "Educational Advantages," by 
W. H. V. Raymond; "Agriculture," by T. C. Judkins; "The Horticult- 
ural Industry," by B. M. Lelong; "Viticulture," by Winfield Scott; 
"Dairying in California," by G. G. Wickson; "Irrigation in California," 
by George F. Weeks; "California Petroleum and Asphaltum"; "The 
Sugar Beet in California," by Richard Gird; "Mining for the Precious 
Metals "; " What con be done in California," by E. W. Maslin; " Mineral 
Springs and Health Resorts"; "Market Q,uotations." 

Scattered among the pages of reading matter were a number of half- 
tone pictures, illustrating various Californian industries, the frontispiece 
being a view of the capitol at Sacramento. Folded into each book was 
an accurate map of California, 32 by 26 inches in size. 

The entire edition, numbering many thousand copies, was placed in 
the hands of the California World's Fair Commission, and the Commis- 
sion in turn selected Prof. Chas. H. Allen, an acknowledged authority 
on the resources of the State, to superintend the distribution, W^hen the 
books reached Chicago, which was during the later months of the fair, 
Professor Allen fitted up quarters near the great State relief-map, and 
as he and his assistants handed out the volumes to eager callers for infor- 
mation regarding California, he was enabled to emphasize personally the 
opportunities that the Golden State offers to home-seekers and investors. 
The beneficial results of this publication have been great, and will 
undoubtedly increase with time. 

TREES AND PLANTS AROUND CALIFORNIA BUILDING. 

Viewed from the Roof Garden, from the deep-set windows facing east 
and south, or from the sinuous walks about the building, the outdoor 
collection of California trees, shrubs, and flowers was a pleasing sight, 
and constituted an appropriate and harmonious setting for the quaint 
Mission structure. 

Separated from the building only by a narrow path was a verdant 
lawn, sloping gently eastward and southward to the adjacent avenues. 
This green sward was crossed by wide walks leading to the several 
entrances, and was thus subdivided into five plats of diverse figures, 
the one to the northeast being about 150 by 100 feet, the circle fronting 
the east entrance 50 feet in diameter, and the triangular area east of the 
south end of the building about 200 feet long, with an average width of 
50 feet. Of the two plats seen as one passed southward in leaving the 
building, the one to the left averaged about 70 by 50 feet, the center 
being so built up as to resemble a natural hillock, while the plat to the 
right, as utilized for decorative purposes, was 100 feet long and about 60 
feet wide. 

Growing in these spaces were bearing orange and lemon trees, bloom- 
ing azaleas, wide-leaved bananas, palms in great number and variety, 
century plants, olive and camphor trees, etc. — all serving to transplant 
the visitor, mentally, to the semi-tropics.

In the circular plat opposite the eastern entrance was a Canary 
Islands palm of uncommon size and grace, while on either side, across 
pebbled walks, stood the magnificent pair of date-palms from Santa 
Barbara. There was a male and a female, the latter being the fruit- 
bearing member of the family, and having up among its tufted leaves 
clusters of dates that had developed and reached maturity after the tree 
was replanted at Chicago. The trees were each 22 years old, 2 to 3 feet 
in diameter, 25 feet from the ground to the lower branches, and with a 
total height of 40 feet. When in boxes for shipment they weighed about 
20 tons each, and required three cars for their transportation. 

Fan palms of different species were numerous in the grounds, espe- 
cially along the eastern border, while scattered here and there were 
phoenix and club palms, century and banana plants, with occasionally 
a pepper tree, a silk oak, or an orange or lemon tree thickly studded 
Avith ripened fruit. Roses were blooming in abundance; among them 
were two trees, each grafted with ten varieties of roses, many of which 
being in bloom at the same time rendered the novel growths objects of 
special interest. 

In the plat l3'ing southward of the building were specimens of laurus- 
tinus, heliotrope and yellow jasmine, pomegranate and loquat, salmon 
berry, romneya (tree-poppy), wigandia, sequoia, golden arbor- vitse, 
Australian feather-palm, " Bird of Paradise," and silver tree, the last- 
named being the only one of its kind in Jackson Park. Besides these, 
there were the araucaria braziliensis, euphorbia splendens, metrosideros 
robusta, and sterculia acutifolia, for whose botanical names there are so 
far hardly any English equivalents. 

Near the southeast corner and along the eastern side, besides the more 
numerous kinds already mentioned, could be found Spanish bayonet, 
dragon tree, Japanese paper tree, yew, Japan cedar (cryptomeria), 
Japanese cypress (retinospora), umbrella tree, magnolia, three or four 
species of ficus, two of which were " rubber trees," olive, acacia, oleander, 
New Zealand flax-lily, rare fan-palms, sago-palms, jjittosporums, a mela- 
leuca, some of the less common species of eucalyptus, and, as one drew 
near the northeast corner, California azaleas, wild lilacs, and huckle- 
berries, with Douglas fir and other of the conifers, besides lemon verbena, 
habrothamnus, and several species of polygala and veronica. 

Under the eaves of the building and in the lawn-edge that bordered 
the paths (the spaces aggregating 1,550 square feet), a modest showing of 
California wildfiowers was maintained by Mi<^s Faustina Butler. The 
eschscholtzias bloomed as freely as on their native hills — the "maritima" 
flourishing especially. Lilies and penstemons were unfortunate and 
flowered sparsely, but from the middle of May until July there was a 
succession of brodiieas, Mariposa lilies, alliums, brevoortias, and wild 
hyacinths, while varieties of the argemone or thistle-poppy of Southern 
California bloomed all summer and were much admired. The hibiscus, 
from the Santa Barbara Mountains, blossomed during August and Sep- 
tember. Most of the annuals came up and flowered, but the blossoms 
were small. Some gilias, phacelias, and collinsias did well, however, 
and those which survived the trampling feet of Chicago Day looked fresh 
and bright in the middle of November. 

Potted palms decked the gables of the roof and the parapets and 
arcades of the Roof Garden; while scattered here and there on the latter 
space were century plants, pittosporums, orange trees, roses, flax-lilies,

polygalas and veronicas, one or two representatives each of acacia, cam- 
phor, eucalyptus, loquat and olive, bougainvillea, fourcroyas and yuccas, 
and a host of little cypresses and blooming geraniums. 

In the early summer there were transferred to the interior of the build- 
ing palms of half a dozen familiar species, with camphor tree, japonica, 
and New Zealand flax (all growing in ample earth-cubes), which were 
set about the main floor and the gallery, to add their grace and verdure 
to the display.

CALIFORNIA IN DEPARTMENT OR NATIONAL BUILDINGS. 



While a strict construction of the Act of the Legislature appropriating 
money to defray the expenses of a Californian display at Chicago seemed 
to restrict the bulk of exhibits to the State building, yet at an early 
date the necessity of increased representation in all of the great depart- 
ment or national buildings became so apparent that the Commission 
decided not only to arrange and maintain in these buildings choice 
specimens of all products, as previously determined upon, but also to 
erect in the Horticultural, Mines and Mining Buildings, etc., roomy 
pavilions, and install therein large and varied displays. The wording 
of special Acts gave counties great freedom as to the placing of their 
products, and renewed efforts were made to encourage all intending 
exhibitors to make duplicate displays — one for the California Building, 
and one for the respective department buildings, where competition 
with the world was possible and premiums against all rivals were to be 
secured. To the credit of the State be it said that few of them shrunk 
from the task. It was found at Chicago that California, even outside 
of her own building, did not sufier by comparison with any other State, 
no matter how old, how populous, or how wealthy, while it excelled all 
others in many important particulars. 

Taking the California exhibit as a whole, its wide range was most 
remarkable. As shown by the "Condensed List of Exhibitors and 
Exhibits," elsewhere given, the State was represented in every one of 
the sixteen great buildings or departments, according to the classifica- 
tion adopted by the Exposition authorities. To visitors it seemed almost 
incredible that a single State could show a variety of natural products 
that would include the following: 

Under Horticulture: Oranges, lemons, limes, pomeloes, shaddocks, 
citrons, guavas, loquats, persimmons, figs, pineapples, dates, olives, 
bananas, apples, pears, quinces, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, 
prunes, cherries, grapes, and raisins; blackberries, raspberries, huckle- 
berries, currants, gooseberries, etc.; English walnuts, black walnuts, 
almonds, pecans, chestnuts, pinones, and peanuts. 

Under Viticulture: 143 varieties of white wines, 120 of red wines, 117 
of sweet wines, besides a number of sparkling wines, and 44 varieties of 
brandies.

sole, skate, sun-fish, perch, surf-fish, barracuda, herring, pampano, stur- 
geon, shark, etc., many of the species being represented by from two to ten 
varieties. 

Besides the above there were varied exhibits in the Departments of 
Manufactures, Liberal Arts, Machinery, Transportation, Ethnology, 
Electricity, Fine Arts, and Floriculture; also in the Woman's Building, 
Government Building, Merchant Tailors' Building, United States Indian 
School Building, and Leather and Shoe Trades Building. 

Herewith is given a description of the " collective " exhibits maintained 
under the auspices of this Commission in department buildings and 
grounds. 

IN THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING. 

Almost in the center of the lower floor of the Agricultural Building, 
surrounded by exhibits from the more important agricultural States of 
the Union, and in proximity to the displays from foreign countries, was 
a space 42 by 48 feet that had been allotted to California for her col- 
lective agricultural exhibit. Upon this space was built an installation 
structure, that, aside from its having no roof, somewhat resembled the 
exterior of a solidly built frame cabin, with sufficient cornice work at the 
top to give it a finished and picturesque appearance. Tlie walls, 10 feet 
in height, instead of being built of boards, consisted of large panes of 
glass, so united as to form an inclosure almost entirely of glass. Each 
of the four sides had an entrance 8 feet wide, while the exhibits as a 
whole rested on a platform 7 inches high. 

Within the inclosure were more than a thousand pear-shaped inverted 
globes of various sizes, filled with varieties of wheat, corn, beans, etc., 
all set upon a row of double-terraced stands that surrounded the glass 
sides. There were seventeen exhibits of wheat, consisting of the follow- 
ing varieties: White Australian, Yolo, Club, Pride of Butte, Propo, 
Stone, Royal Australian, Big Club, Patent Office, Missoyen, Atlanti, 
Red Marseilles, White Club, Scotch Fyfe, Bennor, White Club, and Defi- 
ance. The high average weight of the grain per bushel was interesting 
to Eastern farmers in general. Of barley, there were four varieties: 
Chevalier, Nepaul, Common Brewing, and Six-rowed. There were forty- 
seven varieties of beans, making the same number of exhibits, among 
which were the Lima, Crystal Wax, White Kidney, Pea, Dutch Case- 
knife, Pink, Butter, English Broad, Mottled Kidney, Small White, Lazy 
White, Cranberry, Bayo, Yellow Eye, Six Weeks, and Black-e3^ed. New

England growers were impressed with the statement that in California, 
beans are largely planted in rows by special machines, and that in the 
most productive counties no rain falls between the time of planting and 
harvesting. 

In the display were four exhibits of corn, six of potatoes, three of 
onions, four of squashes, and three of beets, besides rye, flax, clover, 
alfalfa, etc. The vegetables were of immense size and weight. The ex- 
hibit of sugar beets proved an interesting feature, analysis of the sam- 
ples having shown, as st^ated on the cards, 14 per cent of sugar — a higher 
average than the German product. There were two exhibits of mangel- 
wurzel beets, extensively used for feeding stock, that varied in size from 
50 to 100 pounds. Alfalfa hay, of which there were excellent samples, 
attracted much attention, especially when visitors were told that as 
many as seven crops a year can be cut from the same tract of land. 

Within the inclosure there were also eight tables, upon which were 
tastefully disposed vegetables and sheaves of wheat, barley, and oats, 
and also sacks containing wheat, corn, beans, etc. One of the most 
noticeable features of the exhibit was a corn shock standing about 16 
feet high, with corn growing around the base. The bulletin board, upon 
which were neatly arranged sheaves of different grains and grasses, was 
also an object of attraction. 

Besides the displays that had been secured from individual growers 
by personal solicitation and correspondence, many of the counties con- 
tributed generously, among them being Sacramento, Los Angeles, Butte, 
Sutter, Placer, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Fresno, San Bernardino, Hum- 
boldt, San Diego, and Orange. Los Angeles and Sacramento furnished 
the largest quota, each sending a sufficient supply of cereals to fill one 
hundred large inverted bottles. 

In specially constructed cases in other portions of the building, Cali- 
forriia showed samples of honey from the crop of 1893. 

HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT IX HORTICULTURAL BUILDING. 

The installation of fruit displa3'S contributed by individuals and by 
several counties of California, which, collectively, was known as the 
California State Exhibit, was begun prior to May 1, 1893, the opening 
day of the Exposition. Additions were made from time to time for 
three or four weeks, when the various tables set apart for the use of the 
State presented an exceedingly attractive appearance, the beauty of which 
was in no way diminished, but rather enhanced, during the continu- 
ance of the fair, and elicited praise from the thousands who passed along 
the aisles of what was known as the South Rear Curtain of the Horti- 
cultural Building. 

California was lavish in her display of the products of her orchards 
in this great building, occupying about one third of the space in the 
several rooms in which her exhibits were installed. An expression 
frequently heard was: "If there is any vacant space in the Horticult- 
ural Building, California will step to the front and fill it." 

Five terraced tables in the South Curtain, having about 1,500 feet of 
running shelving, were used exclusively for the State exhibit. Hereon 
were shown, in hundreds of glass jars of various patterns, fruits in solu- 
tion. Several of the northern counties of the State contributed to this 
excellent display, but the southern counties were especially liberal with 



74 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

their contributions, consisting mostly of oranges, lemons, grape-fruit, 
guavas, and similar fruits. Deciduous fruits in great variety were loaned 
by all counties, and the exhibit was representative, attractive, and 
creditable. The majority of visitors interested in such matters noticed 
that the liquid used by California exhibitors in preparing fruits in solu- 
tion was clearer, of better quality, and showed the products to greater 
advantage than that used by other States. No one formula was used, 
for on the tables were fruits in variety from many counties, put up by 
different growers who followed their own favorite methods. 

This exhibit proved an exceedingly valuable advertisement of the 
horticultural resources of California. The Superintendent states that 
in many known cases it influenced parties interested in fruit culture to 
visit California and invest in orchard property. " If your State can 
make such an excellent showing two thousand miles from home, you 
must have an incomparable climate and splendid soil," was in substance 
a common remark. 

From the opening day of the Exposition, plates of oranges and lemons 
were interspersed among the jars of other fruits. These citrus speci- 
mens were renewed whenever fresh consignments were received from the 
south, or once every two or four weeks. The oranges and lemons from 
the northern portion of the State were chiefly in jars in solution. Of 
the varieties of orange from the southern counties there were, in their 
season, Washington Navel, Mediterranean Sweet, Malta Blood, Tanger- 
ine, Mandarin, Valencia Late, and Hart's TardifF. Among the varieties 
of lemons were the Eureka, Lisbon, Genoa, and Bonnie Brae. This dis- 
play, which was duplicated by no other State, was kept up from the first 
of May to November, the color of the fresh fruit harmonizing beauti- 
fully with that in the jars. It is a noteworthy fact that never before 
in the history of this country has a citrus fruit display been maintained 
during the entire summer period, thus demonstrating that California 
can market oranges and lemons every month of the year. 

Early in June consignments of fresh deciduous fruits began to arrive 
from California. These, displayed on plates on the several terraced tables, 
were renewed every few days and kept fresh until the close of the fair. 
Impressed on the minds of every interested visitor was the fact that 
California produces far more varieties of fruit than any other State in 
the Union. All this had its effect upon inspecting fruit growers living 
outside of California. In Illinois and contiguous States, even in those 
much farther east, the fruit crop for the season of 1893 was very short, 
although the samples of fruit shown at the fair were exceptionally fine. 
" It seems as though we could not raise fruit in abundance any more," 
was often observed by orchardists of the Eastern States. They were 
then told, and with truth, that fruit crops in California are always sure; 
that our plums are never attacked by curculio, and that fruits in general 
are free from injury by the pests which are so common in the East. 

In the South Curtain there were novel and noteworthy exhibits from 
Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties. Los Angeles 
built an orange tower that stood 35 feet high and, up to a height of 8 
feet from the floor, was 14 feet square. Above this rose a cylindrical 
shaft of beautiful proportions, surmounted by an eagle with outstretched 
wings. During the greater part of the Exposition this tower con- 
tained about 14,000 oranges, which were renewed every three or four 
weeks. Of all features in the fruit display, this tower was probably the

most widely known; for being so sightly in design and construction, 
illustrated papers in this and foreign countries reproduced it in their 
pages in faithful cuts. The estimated cost of erecting and keeping it in 
its freshness and beauty was ^4,000. 

At the lower end of the South Curtain, Los Angeles County showed 
more citrus fruits on a table having an area of about 140 square feet. 
One novel figure in this display was a model of the Old Liberty Bell, 
made of oranges, which ranked second to the orange tower as an object 
of admiration. It was perfect in shape, being 5 feet in height, with a 
diameter of 6 feet at the rim. It was suspended from a frame covered 
with Spanish moss from California, and on the topmost cross-beam 
appeared in oranges the word '' Liberty." It required 6,500 oranges to 
construct this bell. 

On the same large table San Bernardino County maintained an out- 
put of oranges and lemons, tastefully arranged in pyramids and other 
figures. San Diego County also occupied considerable space with a 
continuous exhibit from May to November. A very pleasing feature by 
this county was a cornucopia, 44 feet long and 3 feet wide at the mouth. 
It was mounted on a pedestal 18 inches high, both the horn of plenty 
and the pedestal being covered with fruit. The mouth of the cornucopia 
was filled with various horticultural, agricultural, mineral, and other 
products of the county, representing an outpouring of luscious oranges, 
lemons, limes, apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, grapes, raisins, nuts, 
corn, wheat, etc. 

Flanking the central table to the west and separated therefrom by an 
aisle, was a table 4 feet wide and 70 feet long, on which Riverside County 
maintained, during the first three months of the Exposition, a fine show- 
ing of citrus fruits, chiefly lemons. 

On a similar table on the opposite side of the room, Ventura and 
Orange, with other southern counties, kept up an excellent citrus display. 
In the North Pavilion of the Horticultural Building, Orange County had 
400 jars of preserved fruits, jellies, jams, etc., all being the product of a 
single ranch. Miscellaneous contributions of considerable merit were 
also made by Santa Barbara County. 

In the North Pavilion dried fruits were shown in great variety. The 
fact that the major part of the product had been cured in the sun, 
instead of by artificial means, was a marvel to residents of Eastern 
States. This display was in charge of the California Commission, 
several counties having massed fruit for a collective exhibit. In neat 
cases with glass doors were arranged nuts of several kinds; olive oil, 
from San Diego County in the south to Placer County in the north; 
jams, jellies, and other articles of a similar nature. The displays of 
raisins and figs here was especially noticeable. Dates grown and cured 
in California were also to be seen, and a stand containing eighty-six 
varieties of almonds, from six ranches in four counties, exhibited by the 
grower, A. T. Hatch of San Francisco. 

On the upper floor of this part of the Horticultural Building were 
canned fruits in abundance from several canning establishments; a strik- 
ing walnut tower 28 feet high, constructed of plate glass, containing 
2,000 pounds of English walnuts contributed by fifty growers at Rivera, 
Los Angeles County; also a number of other interesting displays by 
individual exhibitors.

VITICULTURAL EXHIBIT IN HORTICULTURAL BUILDING. 

The State viticultural exhibit was installed in the South Pavilion of 
the Horticultural Building, this pavilion being devoted entirely to viti- 
cultural displays from all countries of the world. The general space 
set aside to California exhibitors comprised about one fourth of the. 
entire lower floor, being larger than the combined areas of all other 
States. 

Originally the authorities at Chicago allotted to the California 
World's Fair Commission the entire space that was intended to be occu- 
pied by the State, by different associations and by private exhibitors, with 
the understanding that such area would be subdivided and re-allotted by 
the Commission to private exhibitors from California. This area con- 
sisted of two rectangles, one being 120 by 10 feet, and the other 90 by 
30 feet, containing a total of about 4,000 square feet. Subsequently, 
after the Viticultural Department had been dignified by making it a 
separate bureau and California had been complimented by the appoint- 
ment of one of her citizens, H. M. LaRue, as chief thereof, it was deemed 
advisable for the allotment to be made at Chicago, and therefore only 
what was required for the State display was set aside for our Board. 

The collective State exhibit of wines and brandies installed by this 
Commission occupied a space about 31 by 10 feet nearly in the mid- 
dle of the large area awarded to California. The exhibit consisted of 
1,500 or 1,600 bottles of various vintages, arranged on three terraced 
stands or pyramids. These stands had paneled bases or pedestals of 
white cabinet work 2 or 3 feet high, abutting to the rear on the Vina 
partition and extending forward 7 or 8 feet to a wide lateral aisle. The 
two narrow bays between the pyramids were widened toward the aisle, 
the middle pedestal being cut away to such an extent as to reduce it 
nearly to a triangular prism. These three bases were surmounted on 
all sides but one by five and six serried tiers of bottles, retreating 
slightly as they ascended, and thus forming steep truncated pyramids. 
The outer ends of the first and third pyramids were built up higher 
into two octagonal prisms, the sides of which were covered with numer- 
ous photographs of vineyard scenery, and then tapered roofward into 
cones nine or ten tiers higher, each pyramid terminating in a single 
large bottle filled with wine. The point of the middle pyramid was 
also crowned with a slender pinnacle composed entirely of wines. Thirty 
or more individuals or firms contributed to this collective State exhibit. 
It was estimated by Superintendent W. H. McNeil that in the collection 
there were shown 143 varieties of white wines, 120 of red wines, 117 of 
sweet wines, 5 of sparkling wines, and 44 of brandies, without reckoning 
those displayed by four of the larger producers, who acted independently 
of the Commission. 

Westward from the State exhibit, and occupying a space 31 by 26 feet, 
was the instructive display of the Board of State Viticultural Commission- 
ers. This comprised a number of grapevines, with their roots in earth 
and their branches secured along the wall, serving to illustrate various 
methods of pruning and training. The samples also showed the system 
of grafting on resistant vines. The short system of pruning which is 
practiced nearly all over the State, was more particularly shown, together 
with a method little used in California, but which is in vogue in certain 
sections of France. The latter was illustrated by a large vine trained

over the ground and supported by props, the same as it would be in a 
vineyard. Still another was the trellis system, also shovrn b}^ trained 
vines. There were several colored portraitures of choice varieties of 
grapes grown in California, including the Tokay, Muscat, Zinfandel, 
Seedless Sultana, Mission, Riesling, and others. A small collection of 
viticultural literature was also shown. 

Adjoining the display of the Viticultural Commission to the north, 
eight exhibitors from Alameda County occupied a floor space 31x20 feet, 
fronting on three aisles, with a very handsome redwood installation. 
Neat counters upheld low showcases with bent glass tops, above and 
back of which were small vertical cases, alternating with curtained 
panels, the whole being capped with grill-work and inclosing a reception 
or manager's office. There were also specially ornamental features on 
the west side and northwest corner. 

Abutting on the State exhibit to the east was an installation contain- 
ing the exhibit of Vina Vineyard, the property of the Leland Stanford 
estate. The display was exceedingly attractive, and embraced two highly 
ornamental fountains, one throwing jets of wine, the other of brandy. 
There were cool grottoes, representing actual scenes in the Vina Vine- 
yard, including a splendid perspective of the principal wine cellar, 
showing the cooperage, the storing of wines, and all other appurte- 
nances. The exhibit occupied a space 20x30 feet, the exterior of the 
booth being quite ornate. 

East of the Vina pavilion stood a representation of the trunk of a 
mammoth redwood tree 40 feet high, the interior forming a natural grotto 
28 feet in diameter. The background consisted of a fine picture of the 
Golden Gate, while the walls were covered with appropriate photo- 
graphs and mottoes. In separate sections were displayed the wines of 
C. Carpy & Co., J, Gundlach & Co., Arpad Haraszthy & Co., and the 
Napa Valley Wine Co. This unique structure had a second story, and 
up its winding stairway one might climb to the gallery to view the trio 
of California raisin exhibits from Fresno, Riverside, and San Diego 
Counties. 

In a long, narrow rectangle across the aisle to the south of the gen- 
eral viticultural display, a dozen or more firms and individuals main- 
tained independent wine exhibits that were more or less elaborate. 

The prevailing opinion among visitors regarding the viticultural 
exhibit as a whole is well expressed by the following from the ''Age" 
of Melbourne, Australia: "California, the Golden State of the Pacific, 
leaves all its American rivals behind in the matter of wine exhibits. 
There are 117 American competitors in the Section of Viticulture from 
the whole of the United States. Of these no fe,wer than 85 are from Cali- 
fornia, and many of the California exhibitors make elaborate displays, 
equaling those of the European courts for their massive effectiveness." 

The Viticultural Department was visited by the most prominent 
people who entered the Exposition grounds. All were surprised or 
pleased at the excellent quality of California wines, especially of the 
Medoc and Sauterne types, and of the brandies. The splendid list of 
exhibitors from this State who received awards gives evidence of the high 
value placed upon the products of the vine.

IN THE MINES AND MINING BUILDING. 

In the Mines and Mining Building the collection of California min- 
erals was in many respects almost a duplicate of that in the State build- 
ing, with the exception that the scientific element predominated in the 
former, especial attention being paid to the economic minerals. 

One of the most attractive features of the exhibit was the artistic 
entrance or classic gateway constructed entirely of native material, with 
a view of displaying to the best advantage the building stones of Cali- 
fornia. The facade was designed by J. C. Pelton, Jr., of San Francisco. 
The gateway was in the form of a triple arch, with a portico in front 
and wings on each side. The base of the gateway, five inches in height, 
was of dark granite. The pedestals of the four columns, each two feet 
wide, were of light granite, and the columns themselves of beautiful 
white marble, two being from the Colton and two from the Inyo quarries. 
The caps of the columns were of the Ionic order, richly carved and sur- 
mounted by a finely molded entablature. Behind the pedestals of the 
columns, the pilasters of the arches were formed of most beautifully 
veined California onyx, the arches themselves being of gray sandstone. 
The belt course over the arches was of Colton marble, and the panels 
between the belt course and the pediment were of variegated marbles, 
the space about the panels being of white marble. In the face of each 
wing was sunk a square, window-like niche, having three small Ionic 
columns of choicest onyx. From the floor to the top of the entablature 
was 20 feet, and the extreme width of the gateway, 36^ feet. The wings, 
12| feet high on each side of the triple archway, were of blue greenstone, 
the columns flanking the windows being of onyx and the cornice of green 
marble. In this way nearly all the best hard and soft stones that the 
State affords were shown cut, and when feasible, polished and in actual 
use, as a part of the gateway. Over the central arch was the inscription 
"California Mining Exhibit." The fagade was surmounted by two 
gilded life-size grizzly bears, which attracted notice almost the moment 
one entered the building. 

Within the classic gateway, and facing the entrance to the exhibit, 
there appeared large gilded cubes painted on the rear wall, serving to 
illustrate the comparative production of gold and other precious metals 
in the United States and California. The inscriptions thereon were so 
striking that visitors were found studying them almost every hour of the 
day. One inscription read: "Total production of gold in the United 
States since 1848, including California, $1,900,000,000. California alone 
during the same period, $1,310,245,000." Another gave the total produc- 
tion of silver and quicksilyer in California since 1848 at $47,128,000 and 
$63,234,000, respectively, while on the three gilt cubes appeared the follow- 
ing: "Annual yield of gold in California at the time hydraulic mining was 
prohibited in 1880, 36t|- tons avoirdupois, equal to $27,060,000"; "Annual 
yield of gold in tjie United States, including California, 1892, 44^ tons 
avoirdupois, valued at $32,845,000"; "Annual yield of gold in California 
during the year 1892, 23^ tons avoirdupois, representing a value of 
$17,160,000." 

The great seal of the State of California, carved in wood, was a con- 
spicuous and very pleasing feature. 

The mineral specimens, all scientifically arranged, were contained in 
twenty-four showcases, each 8 feet long and 2 feet wide, forming three

and other building stones from California— Mines and Mining Building. (Page 78.)

aisles throughout the length of the inclosure. In these were displayed 
the finest obtainable specimens of gold and silver ores and those of 
other precious and economic hietals, and even a few diamonds in their 
natural state as found in California. 

As was the case in the State building, the specimens loaned by the 
California State Mining Bureau constituted the greater portion of the 
exhibit. The collection by this Bureau consisted of (1st, and princi- 
pally) ores of nearly all the most useful metals, including native gold 
and gold quartz, accompanied in many cases with specimens of the 
inclosing rocks, with a view of partially illustrating their geology; (2d) 
a large number of specimens of economic value, such as borates, gypsum, 
sulphur, salt, clays, graphite, etc.; and (od) a series of samples of build- 
ing stone and marble, including the so-called "onyx." Of gold and 
gold quartz there were forwarded nearly 300 specimens from 25 counties; 
of silver ores, 85 specimens from 12 counties; of copper ores, 62 speci- 
mens from 15 counties; of quicksilver ores, 50 specimens from 10 
counties; of iron ores, 35 specimens from 21 counties; of platinum, 3 
specimens from 2 counties; of chrome ores, 30 specimens from 19 coun- 
ties; of manganese ores, 17 specimens from 15 counties; of zinc ores, 6 
specimens from 6 counties; of antimony, 11 specimens from 5 counties; 
of tin, 3 specimens from 1 county; of lead, 7 specimens from 6 counties. 
There were also a number of mineral specimens selected for their rarity 
or attractive appearance, and a collection of the more striking and 
characteristic rocks of the State. Hydraulic and river mining were 
illustrated by a number of large photographs of actual mining scenes. 
In all, about one thousand specimens were exhibited, representing the 
mineral resources of the entire State, not a single county being omitted. 

Noteworthy among other exhibits were the following: Antimony ore 
and regulus, by the Mathison Smelting Company, San Francisco; a col- 
lection of various minerals and ores occurring in Plumas County, by 
S. S. Taylor, of Quincy; rare and beautiful specimens of crystalline gold, 
by R. McMurray and John Daggett, of San Francisco; solar and native 
salts from different parts of the State; and aluminum ore from San 
Bernardino County, carrying as high as 43 per cent of the metal. 

Of great interest was a collection of gold ores, sent from Nevada 
County, which comprised samples from the Idaho, Maryland, and other 
mines in that district. 

The Union Oil Company, of Santa Paula, Ventura County, made an 
instructive display of oils and asphaltum, and the Pacific Asbestos Com- 
pany, of Los Angeles, one of asbestos paint and packing. Both the 
Inyo and Colton marble companies had fine exhibits of their marble. 
Kesseler's Onyx Mine contributed splendid specimens of landscape slabs 
of onyx, numerous columns, pedestals, table tops, etc. This onyx has 
been declared by competent judges to surpass every other known variety. 
Another attraction was the rare pink tourmaline, or rubellite, found 
only in San Diego County. 

Among quicksilver ores was a very large piece from the New Almaden 
Mine in Santa Clara County; and a small collection of tin ore from the 
Temescal Mine in San Bernardino County was included in one of the 
cases. A curiosity in the general exhibit was an old-time rocker and 
pans, such as were used almost exclusively in the placer diggings in the 
early days. The pan is supposed to have been the property of James 
W. Marshall, the discoverer of gold in California. Very interesting and

instructive, especially to mining men, were two sets of models of mine- 
timbering as first introduced on the Comstock Lode by Philip Diede- 
sheimer, the inventor. There were also phbtographsof mines in operation 
and of the undercurrents, dams, and ditches connected therewith. 

The valuable publications of the State Mining Bureau, the geological 
maps of California, and the annual reports of the State Mineralogist, 
met with deserved attention and approval. 

A fine display was made of chemicals and chemical ores, among the 
most important being magnesite from Napa County, kaolin from Nevada 
County, borax from San Bernardino and Inyo Counties, pottery clay 
from Amador County, mineral paints from Humboldt and Calaveras 
Counties, and sulphur from Lake County. 

IN THE FISH AND FISHERIES BUILDING. 

The California exhibit in the Fish and Fisheries Building was as- 
signed a highly desirable location, being on the ground floor and but a 
few feet from the rotunda, or center, of the building. The space fronted 
on two aisles, was about 15 feet square, and was separated only by a 
partition from the exhibit from Maine, which latter occupied an area 
slightly smaller than that of California. It was fitting that these two 
States should appear side by side, more fish being taken from the waters 
of their coasts than from those of any other two States on the Atlantic 
and Pacific. It further enabled visitors to contrast type specimens and 
varieties of fishes from waters of the two great oceans. 

The California exhibit was confined to the two artificial walls that 
separated it from neighboring spaces, leaving a clear view of the dis- 
play from two sides. These walls were from 8 to 10 feet high, the fishes, 
of which there were about forty, being hung thereon. All specimens were 
prepared according to the process lately adopted by the United States 
Fish Commission at Washington, D. C, and consisted of flexible plaster 
casts, life-sized, and painted in natural colors. They were mounted on 
a background of hardwood, each having a plaque to itself, and so placed 
as to represent the natural position in water. One specimen of albacore, 
or great tunny, was so large and fine that its skin was dried and mounted 
by Professor Jordan. The display, as a whole, should be considered in 
connection with the fish exhibit in the California Building, a detailed 
account of which appears elsewhere in this report. 

The prominent position occupied by California at the Exposition, and 
the helpful interest shown by this Commission toward all the department 
or national buildings, aided largely in increasing exhibits from this State 
at Chicago. Chief Collins, of the Fisheries Department, always recog- 
nized the importance of California, and as a result the aquariums were 
well stocked with live fish from California waters. Besides former con- 
signments, a carload of fresh fish from this State, mostly collected from 
Monterey Bay and by the United States Fish Commission, arrived at 
Chicago late in June, and were placed in the large aquarium containing 
specimens from the different waters of the United States. There were 
one hundred and fifty-eight fish in the consignment, representing twenty- 
five different species. It was stated by the Chicago press that the attempt 
to bring so many different kinds such a long distance had never before 
proved successful. The fish were five days en route and all but one 
arrived in excellent condition. 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 81 

The most notable specimen was a wolf-fish, five feet in length, said to 
be the first of its kind that has ever lived so long in captivity. Among 
other varieties were two electric fish, two small sharks, cusks, flounders, 
skate, porgies, kelp-crabs, and sea-urchins. Among oddities were speci- 
mens of the pennalata, a long, gelatinous, flesh-colored fish, sometimes 
called a pen-fish, owing to a supposed resemblance which it has to the 
quill pens used in signing the Declaration of Independence. There were 
also large crabs, ear-shaped abalones, and sea-anemones, the latter differ- 
ing from species found- in the Atlantic Ocean, in that they are much 
larger, and strongly resemble a Japanese chrysanthemum in full bloom. 

On the ground floor of the main building was an exhibit, collected by 
the San Diego High School and maintained by the World's Fair Asso- 
ciation of that count}', consisting of fishes in alcohol, mounted and 
dried fishes, corals, sea-weeds or algce, star-fishes, sea-urchins, shells, 
Crustacea, and aquatic birds. 

There were frames filled with fish-scale and shell-work bj^ two ladies of 
San Diego, who also showed beautiful shell-work in the form of flowers. 
The display as a whole was so varied as to render it especially interesting. 

STATE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT IN THE LIBERAL ARTS BUILDING. 

The State educational exhibit in the Manufactures and Liberal Arts 
Building was small compared to what would have been made had it 
been possible to secure a larger space for purposes of display. When 
the Commission made formal application on behalf of California, word 
came back from Chicago, that owing to the large number of applicants 
it had been deemed impossible to allot space to those States that were 
erecting buildings with a view of placing exhibits therein. Further cor- 
respondence brought no more satisfactory results, and the matured plan 
for installing in the department building a duplicate of the educational 
exhibit in the California Building was necessarily abandoned. After 
reaching Chicago, the chief of the Department of Liberal Arts found it 
possible to allot a small area that had been forfeited by intending 
exhibitors, and therein was displayed what could be spared from the 
material prepared for the California Building. 

As finally installed, the State exhibit in the Manufactures and Liberal 
Arts Building consisted entirely of statistical charts. There were thirty- 
two of them, each 19 by 24 inches in size, representing as many counties. 
On the charts appeared the following valuable statistics: Area of each 
county in square miles, population at the census of 1890, assessed valua- 
tion of all property in the county, valuation of school property, dis- 
bursements for school purposes during 1892, or the year preceding the 
World's Fair, cost per capita on enrollment, school district libraries, 
number of vohimes in the libraries, and the value of school apparatus. 
An historical and comparative statement appeared on each chart, giving 
the number of schools in each county in 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1892; also 
the number of pupils at the beginning of these years, including the 
census number, enrolled number, and the average attendance. The 
number of male and female teachers employed in each county according 
to the census reports of 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1892 was given, together 
with the average monthly salaries of teachers. As a fitting resume of 
the statistics there appeared the annual expenses for school purposes, and 
the total valuation of school property in each county for the years

named. An additional value was given to the charts by the use of 
broad lines of different colors, serving to give a comparative illustration 
of the rapid growth of schools during the several decades. 

By far the most valuable chart was one embodying school statistics 
for the entire State, both this and the county charts having been pre- 
pared by Prof. C. H. Allen, Superintendent of the Educational Depart- 
ment. The State chart was projected on the same lines as those of the 
counties, but the statistics thereon were painted in white upon a red- 
wood board about 7 feet long and nearly 4 feet wide. Prominent edu- 
cators state that never before in the history of California has there been 
prepared a chart or resume of educational statistics that comprised in 
a small space as much valuable information. Following are the statis-

IN THE FORESTRY BUILDING. 

As in some other departments, the California wood exhibit in the 
Forestry Building was largely a duplicate of that in the State building. 
Over sixty species were represented by nearly two hundred specimens, 
the number of the latter, from the fact of there being more available 
space, being nearly double that in the California Building. The samples 
included among others, Monterey cypress, spruce, locust, pear, elm, 
coffee tree, manzanita, eucalyptus, nutmeg, lilac, cottonwood, black 
acacia, pepper, orange, olive, rubber, camphor, Spanish cedar, hemlock, 
birch, elder, Douglas spruce, fig, salmon berry, castor bean, white thorn, 
mountain mahogany, furze, azalea, madrone, live oak, hickory oak, black 
oak, red oak, white oak, tanbark oak, maul oak, buckeye, alder, laurel, 
redwood, myrtle, sequoia or "big tree," bull pine, sugar pine, yellow 
pine, Monterey pine, California walnut, white cedar, red cedar, California 
ash, maple, sycamore, magnolia, yew, and wild cherry. There were 
samples of wood from nearly every county in the State. 

The exhibit fronted on the main aisle of the building and was inclosed 
in a space 19^ feet wide by 52 feet long and 9 feet high, the walls both 
inside and out being formed of the different varieties of wood, both 
polished and in their natural state. There were entrances of convenient 
width through each of the four sides. Counting in the small space neces- 
sary for the doorways, an easy calculation will show that the inclosure 
furnished the equivalent of a wall surface 286 feet long and 9 feet high, 
or a total of 2,574 square feet. 

The girders that reached from the top of each wall to the opposite 
side were entirely covered with pine cones, from those of the sugar pine 
twelve inches or more in length to the comparatively diminutive ones of 
the giant sequoia. On the floor within the inclosure were sections of 
redwood trees, one section being 14 feet in diameter and the other 16 feet. 
There were 875 well-defined rings on the former section, showing, accord- 
ing to the popular belief of there being one ring for each year's growth, 
that the tree was 475 years old when Columbus discovered America. 
The other section, although two feet larger, was at least two hundred 
years younger. Hard by, in a private exhibit, was a long board 16 
feet 5 inches wide, cut from a redwood tree in Humboldt County, which 
was claimed to be the widest board in the world. The tree from which 
this was cut was 35 feet in diameter and estimated to be 1,500 years old. 



84 UEPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

The California exhibit was one of the most attractive, if not the most 
attractive, of all the State and foreign exhibits in the building. Visitors 
were often so numerous as to cause passers-by to ask if a convention 
was not being held within the inclosure. It was one of the voluntary 
stipulations made by the collector of the specimens, Thomas Hatch, that 
if after the display should be installed at Chicago it did not surpass 
that of any other State or foreign nation, he would forfeit a large per- 
centage of the sum agreed to be paid to him for his collection. The 
members of the California World's Fair Commission made a careful 
examination of the different exhibits after they were installed, and 
secured from chiefs of the several departments, especially from the Chief 
of the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, unbiased views as to 
the merits of the California display without reflecting on any other 
collective exhibit. The opinions of these and other officials seemed to 
be practically unanimous that no other single display possessed as many 
attractive and practical features combined, as did that from California. 
After the close of the Exposition the Commission paid the collector the 
full contract price, believing that his exhibit had sustained the claim to 
superiority. 

Simple varnishing was the only finish given to the woods, but the 
efifect of that in bringing out the odd and striking lines of the redwood, 
madrone, walnut, bright laurel, myrtle, sycamore, live oak, ash, elm, 
yew, and other woods was astonishing. In the light-colored woods were 
some splendid samples of California laurel and maple, one specimen of 
the latter being of special brilliancy, and recalling " mackerel " skies. 
Visitors from France were more interested and pleased with the effects 
in maple than in all other woods combined. The delicate silvery hue of 
the native ash evoked words of admiration from many sight-seers. In 
the darker woods were several noticeable samples of redwood, among 
them being burls with dark, radiating lines flecked with cords of light; 
also fine samples of bird's-eye redwood, California black walnut, etc. 
The delicate straight grains and rich, ruddy hue of the sequoia, or " big 
tree " — which is found only in California — were greatly admired. 

In addition to bringing out the commercial importance of the woods, 
the collector had visited nearly every private collection and lumber 
camp in California for curiosities. The result was seen in a number of 
strangely- figured boards, limbs, stumps, etc. Almost every hour of the 
day visitors could be seen picking out different figures in the woods, such 
as the " Maltese Cross," " Drum Major," "A Pair of Pelicans," "Adam 
and Eve," " An Old Man Peering through the Window," and "A Seal 
Catching Fish." 

Besides this collective exhibit, California was directly represented in 
three of the triple pillars that formed supports for the roof of the unique 
Forestry Building. This building, with its veranda and bark-covered 
roof, gave one the impression of a vast rustic summer-house, the pillars 
sustaining the veranda being trunks of trees. The California World's 
Fair Commission forwarded to Chicago in the fall of 1891 seven native 
trees for columns in this building, as follows: one California "big tree" 
{Sequoia gigantea), three redwoods {Sequoia sempervirens) , and three 
sugar pines {Pinus lambertiana) .

CALIFORNIA ROOM IN WOMAN'S BUILDING. 

The Legislature of 1893, by special Act, appropriated $2,500 to defray 
■expenses incident to the transportation, installation, etc., of exhibits 
for the California Room in the Woman's Building. This room had been 
planned, designed, and exhibits therefor secured, by Mrs. Frona E. Wait, 
•of San Francisco, an alternate member of the National Board of Lady 
Managers, who was instrumental in procuring the passage of the bill; 
but by the terms thereof the money was made payable to the order of the 
California World's Fair Commission. Although this legislative action 
had. been taken without the knowledge of the Commissioners, they deemed 
it for the best interests of the State to accept the trust indirectly, but, 
with the consent of all concerned, placed the practical disposition of the 
funds in the hands of the California members and alternate members 
of the National Board of Lady Managers, or a majority thereof. 

The California Room was 36 by 28 feet, with a height of 17 feet to the 
ceiling. When completed, its interior walls, for five or six feet above the 
floor, were wholly wainscoted with redwood, both the straight and curly 
grains and the burl of the wood being employed, and all so highly 
polished as to reflect like mirrors, yet without the use of varnish or other 
finishing that would impair the effect of the natural grain. Above the 
wainscoting, paintings by California artists were placed side by side, 
being set in the wall like panels. On the north side of the room was a 
French plate mirror, the glass being 7 by 10 feet and inclosed in a rich 
molding, while above was a seal of the State, and surrounding all a 
massive frame of unique design. 

The beautiful parquetry floor was much admired. The ceiling was so 
constructed as to show the rafters, which were smoothly finished, and 
by means of cross-joists and moldings was formed into deep-set squares. 
Arranged about the room, among other articles, were the following: Set 
of hand-carved furniture (10 pieces), the seats and backs of eight being 
covered with carved leather, and the other two with pyrogravure work, 
or burned leather. The wood-carving was done by L. Blohm, the designs 
for the leather work by Mrs. E. P. Bradley, the carving of the leather by 
J. O'Kane, and the pyrogravure by Lilian O'Hara, all of San Francisco. 
The cactus was used as a form scheme in all work. 

A handsome upright piano stood in one corner of the room, while 
•elsewhere were urns and vases with growing cacti therein, onyx and 
marble pedestals, a jardiniere, an uncommonly large bear-skin serving 
as a rug, a cabinet 3^ feet square and 5^ feet high containing thirty 
pieces of china contributed by the California Keramic Club, leather por- 
tieres, a music folio, a donors' album and case, ollas, etc. The redwood 
for the room was secured chiefly through the efforts of John Dolbeer, 
while the finishing and placing of the panels was done by R. P. Hurl- 
burt, both of San Francisco. The installation of exhibits at Chicago, 
the securing of needed articles to complete the display, and the care of 
the room during the Exposition devolved upon Mrs. James R. Deane 
and Mrs. P. P. Rue, California members of the National Board of Lady 
Managers, and Mrs. I. L. Requa, an alternate member, all of whom 
contributed personally towards the expense of its maintenance. 

The room as a whole was much admired by visitors, particularly on 
account of the novelty of design and finish. 

The fund provided by the Legislature was disbursed to the following

OUTDOOR EXHIBITS OP CALIFORNIA TREES AND PLANTS. 

In the northern half of the Horticultural Building, shut in by the 
walls of the central and north pavilions and the front and rear curtains, 
but open to the sky overhead, was an area 270 by 88 feet. This rect- 
angle, known as the North Court, was secured by the Commission for 
California's most remarkable exhibit — a bearing citrus orchard. It had 
been the original intention to divide the space equally between the 
northern and southern portions of the State, but preparations not being 
sufficiently advanced in the northern counties by the time the Exposi- 
tion opened, the ground was almost entirely occupied by trees and plants 
forwarded by the Southern California World's Fair Association. The 
trees intended for the orchard had been dug up a year or two before 
and placed in roomy and strongly built boxes. As soon as the spring 
of 1893 was far enough advanced to make a change of climate reason- 
ably safe, they were carefully transported, carload after carload, from 
the shores of the Pacific to the shores of Lake Michigan, and there 
replanted so skillfully and so faithfully tended, that they grew and bore 
fruit to the very close of the Exposition. 

The citrus display in the open court consisted of about thirty orange 
and twenty lemon trees, which had been handled with such care that 
the dark verdure of their leafage was gemmed with much ripened fruit, 
in the shape of " hold-overs" from the former winter's crop, besides the 
abundant blossoms and fruit of the current season. This surprising 
display awakened lively interest in myriads of visitors : especially 
among those who, living all their lives under sterner skies, had never 
before had the privilege of enjoying such a sight or even seeing a single 
bearing orange or lemon tree. 

The oranges were grouped in the southern half of the court, the 
lemons in the northern, while a few fig trees, guava shrubs, phoenix 
palms, dracenas, and choice roses, planted between the rows, enhanced 
the semi-tropical effect. The two little orchard plats were set well out 
from the wall, leaving space all around and between them for ample 
paths, from which they were separated by a low hedge of Monterey 
cypress standing in a strip of green sward. Each hedge corner was 
marked by a laurustinus, a cryptomeria, or a young redwood, and the 
bands of turf beside the hedge were dotted at intervals with variegated 
century plants and graceful phoenix and fan palms. 

Near the pavilion walls, at the north and south ends of the court,, 
were planted beautiful rosebushes in great variety, with an occasional 
arbor-vitse or a banana, while close to the building were arranged 
hundreds and hundreds of calla lilies, fairly bordering the entire area. 
Mrs. H. W. R. Strong's little model of a new system of storage-reservoirs- 
was located in this court. 

This court and the grounds about the California Building, elsewhere

described, by no means exhausted the supply of trees and shrubs from 
the Golden State. Out on the north side of the Midway Plaisance, just 
east of the Illinois Central Railroad, and conspicuous from its elevated 
track ag one looked toward Jackson Park, lay a well-tilled parcel of 
ground nearly an acre in extent, commonly called the California Nursery. 

The chief portion of this plat was of rectangular form, and laid out 
in approved orchard fashion. It contained about two dozen lemon 
trees, comprising Agnes, Bonnie Brae, Eureka, Lisbon, and Villa Franca; 
and four dozen oranges — Hart's Tardift", Mediterranean Sweet, Navel, 
Oonshiu, and Tangerine — part of them in bearing, with a few limes 
and citrons; one well-grown Mission olive tree, 16 feet high, and a 
solitary magnolia grandiflora. There were also guavas and loquats, 
the latter freighted with yellow fruit, while the space was wholly 
surrounded with thrifty phoenix and fan palms, intermingled with 
grevilleas, pepper trees, and several varieties of eucalyptus. Besides 
the foregoing, all of which were sent from the southern counties, there 
were a dozen slender olive-shoots of as many varieties, each labeled 
with its proper name, from San Mateo County. 

The west, north, and east sides of this rectangle were bounded by 
broad paths, while on the south, along the main avenue of the Plaisance, 
was a wide border of green sward pierced with eight circlets, in each of 
which a rare and handsome rosebush was planted. 

On the east side, between the walk and the wide avenue, lay another 
strip of turf, 12 or 15 feet in width, dotted with nearly fifty ornamental 
trees and foliage or flowering plants, a number of which grow wild in 
California. The collection included " Bird of Paradise," golden arbor- 
vitse, Japanese laurel, pomegranate, and umbrella trees from Los Angeles 
County; a Japanese paper tree from Santa Barbara; redwoods from San 
Mateo; habrothamnus, libonias, and pittosporums, with polygalas and 
veronicas of several species, from Golden Gate Park, San Francisco; 
azaleas and rhododendrons, California lilac, " Oregon grape," salal, and 
salmon berry from Humboldt County; and ornamental trees and plants 
from Fresno County. 

The narrow triangle left between the west path and the railroad 
embankment was filled with nursery stock from Butte and Santa Clara 
Counties, mostly the latter, there being apricots, plums, prunes, figs, 
almonds, chestnuts, and walnuts in considerable variety.

SPECIAL OCCASIONS AND EXERCISES. 



DEDICATION OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING. 

The formal dedication of a State building in Jackson Park was always 
officially recognized and honored by the authorities of the World's 
Columbian Exposition, the exercises attending it being to the State what 
the general dedication ceremonies were to the Exposition itself. 

Although the California Building was ready early in May, it was 
deemed advisable to defer its dedication until the Exposition as a whole, 
should be so far completed that many Californians would be in Chicago, 
and especially until the Governor of the State could be present and 
formally accept the building on behalf of our great commonwealth. 

Monday, June 19th, was finally chosen for Dedication Day. Thou- 
sands of invitations had been sent out, and the event had been further 
heralded, weeks in advance, by the Chicago press and the great dis- 
tributing news agencies with headquarters on the grounds. Governor 
Markham had arrived there long enough beforehand to familiarize 
himself with the Exposition at large, and to judge, by comparison, of 
the merits of the State display. 

So great was the general interest in California, on account of the notable 
and brilliant display of her matchless products, that the early morning 
hours of Dedication Day saw throngs assembling around and pouring 
into the building. Great pains had been taken to decorate the edifice 
appropriately, both within and without. Bunting was used unstintedly 
in festoons and streamers. Besides " Old Glory," special flags — some em- 
blazoned with State emblems, others typical of agriculture, horticulture, 
and mining — waved from the tall flagstaffs on the eight Mission- 
Moorish towers. The ensign of Spain recalled the time when California 
was a Spanish province; the bear flag, dear to every true Californian, 
as signalizing the epoch when Spanish rule yielded to American, was 
given a place of especial honor, while around and over all floated the 
national colors. 

The interior was decorated with equal effect. A platform, draped 
entirely with American flags and set about with palms, orange and 
lemon trees, ferns, and flowers, had been built on the lower floor near 
the south entrance. This floor was occupied by general visitors, who 
thronged the broad aisles and adjacent spaces, while the gallery floor, 
reserved for invited guests, was likewise filled to overflowing. 

Among telegraphic reports of the day's exercises, sent broadcast 
throughout this and other countries by the Associated Press, appeared 
the following: "In the formal dedication to-day of the California 
Building, residents of the Golden State celebrated the event with that 
free and easy grace for which they are famous. The big building was 
lavishly decorated outside and in with flags, flowers, plants rare and 
beautiful, and from end to end, from top to bottom, the huge structure 
presented a picture pleasing to the eye. Not less than 10,000 people 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 89 

had assembled when the hour arrived for the ceremonies. They were 
not all Californians, to be sure, but they all admired the building and 
the gorgeous display of fruits, flowers, gold and other products of the 
State." 

The exercises began at 2 o'clock p. m. Seated on the platform were 
the Governor of the State, prominent Exposition officials, executive 
officers of different States and foreign governments, municipal officers 
of Chicago, and other invited guests, as well as members of the Cali- 
fornia Commission and of the Board of Lady Managers. After appro- 
priate music by the Second Regiment Band of Chicago, James D. Phelan, 
Vice-President of the California World's Fair Commission, called the 
great concourse to order, and spoke as follows: 

ADDRESS OF COMMISSIONER JAMES D. PHELAN. 

Governor Marhham, Ladies and Gentlemen: California has a special reason to join in 
tliis Columbian Exposition, inspired as it is by the heroism and achievements of that 
great type of the Spanish navigator, Cliristopher Columbus; for only fifty years after 
the discovery of America, the seamen of Spain, under Cabrillo, discovered the California 
coast, and subsequently settled the country. And so we Californians join, I say, with 
special interest in celebrating the magnificent services to civilization performed by 
Spain. 

But in this practical age we are not actuated entirely by sentiment. Californians had 
also other reasons for coming to Chicago. We came here to show the part we are play- 
ing on the great stage of the world. We came here to show the development of the 
State since the American occupation in 1846. We came here to enlarge our markets and 
invite a new immigration. These were our objects, and therein you will find the mean-, 
ing of our building and our exhibits. In the Spanish mission architecture of our build- 
ing we honor Spain ; in our display, we trust, we honor California. 

You maj^ notice there is an inscription somewhere in the building, bearing a sentiment 
which will find eager response in everv Californian heart: "California, esto perpetua." 
A countryman was observed the other day to pause and endeavor to interpret its hidden 
meaning.' He repeated the legend several times, and finally said: "I have it. California 
is perfect! " "Another California brag," added he. 

Perhaps Californians are boastful, out can you blame them for it? It is no empty 
boast, it is prompted by that pride which every man, woman, and child who has lived 
in California feels at home and abroad — a sentiment that grows with their travels in 
other lands, and is therefore not provincial. It is not selfish, for all mankind are invited 
to share it. " 

I would answer the countryman: We have brought this exhibit hereto make good 
our boast. With a sparse population — less than that of Chicago — we have a marvelous 
production of fruits, grains, and gold. 

We have here on view exhibits of fine arts and of educational progress. We offer these 
things in evidence of what we have done and what we are capable of doing, and what 
possibilities, grand beyond speech, are awaiting in the future the march of population. 

These fruits, free in their habitat from wintry blasts— a condition of their growth — we 
offer in evidence of not only a productive soil, but a genial sky — the climate of California. 

And so, sir, having gathered this exhibit together, and set it up for these purposes in 
our State building, in the name of the California World's Fair Commission 1 transfer it 
to you for the people of the State, and now hand you the keys, as emblematic of the 
transfer. 

As Governor Markham arose to accept the keys thus presented, he was 
greeted with cheers and a waving of handkerchiefs by the assembled 
guests. When the applause had ceased, he spoke as follows: 

DEDICATORT ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR H. H. MARKHAM, OF CALIFORNIA. 

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I first desire to express thanks to Almighty God, 
and to the people of these United States, that California was jiermitted to become a 
member of the great family of States, of which every American citizen is so justly i)roud. 

Sir, when I behold the magnitude and grandeur of this, the greatest exposition the 
world has ever known — when I consider the vastness of the undertaking, and the energy 
and determination manifested by all to make it worthy in every resi)ect of the great 
event which it commemorates, and thus to crown the century with an exhibition that 
shall go down to posterity as the exponent of our industrial and intellectual progress — 
I am more than aelighte'd to extend to the managers California's hearty greeting and 
emphatic commendation of their efforts, and to congratulate them uj)on the success 
already attained, and upon that which is sure to mark the completion of their labors. 



90 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

Mr. President, while thus acknowledging our appreciation of the many blessings that 
we as a people have received in thus being permitted to join the great sisterhood of 
States, I desire to briefly mention what Clalifornia has done, and what she bids fair to do, 
in return for this exalted privilege of statehood. 

Forty-three years ago she was admitted into the Union, and to-day she has less than 
1,500,000 of inhabitants. Yet when I tell you what her handftil of people have accom- 
plished, not only for California, but for the whole country, I am sure you will concede 
that she has justly earned her high position among the newer States of the Union, and 
will command the respect and confidence of the whole country. Those who know her 
best love her most, and appreciate most highly the thrift, energy, enterprise, and intelli- 
gence of her people. I can say, without offense, that they are in truth the most enter- 
prising people of any State in the Union, for California numbers among her inhabitants 
persons from nearly every precinct in the United States, and from almost every country 
under the sun, and I think a little reflection upon the part of each will convince you 
that those who have emigrated from your immediate neighborhoods to California are 
somewhat above the average of citizens. As so many of our people emigrated from other 
States, it'is only fair to say that what faults they have should be charged rather to their 
early education than to California, for we know our native sons and daughters are per- 
fection. 

California is one thousand miles by road from north to south, and in many places 
more than three hundred and fifty miles by road from east to west. Immense mountain 
ranges have been overcome; thirty to forty rivers and hundreds of mountain streams 
have been bridged and protected ; great valleys, deserts, and plains converted into farms, 
orchards, and gardens ; dense forests penetrated and subdued ; the three thousand miles 
separating us from our extreme eastern markets overcome ; railroads have been con- 
structed and supported ; wagon roads have been built in every direction ; fences, school- 
houses, towns, villages, and cities have been built ; immense irrigation works constructed ; 
new enterprises of every description created and cared for; and all this accomplished 
within the last forty-three years by a population averaging for that time less than seven 
hundred thousand people. 

These facts demonstrate two truths : first, that the people of the State must be all I 
have said of them ; and second, that she possesses resources beyond the conception of 
the ordinary man. Otherwise, such results in so short a period of time, with so limited 
a population, could never have been accomplished. 

While we are all proud of the financial standing of this nation, California must be 
credited with furnishing the gold that saved this country in her direst need. And, sir, 
let me saj^ right here that three fourths of that gold was taken away without leaving to 
California a farthing to show for it, so far as her internal welfare was concerned ; in fact, 
but a small portion of it was left to California for the exclusive use of Californians. Yet 
it saved the financial credit of the nation and placed her in the prosperous condition 
she occupies to-day. The nation is welcome to it, for California can still "keep house " 
without it, and she is able to continue doing these charitable acts with her usual 
becoming modestj'. 

Between the years 1848 and 1878 California produced for the use of this country |1,185,- 
550,000 in gold, and since 1878, $220,00;),000. In addition to this she has produced many 
millions in silver, all of which she has contributed to the financial interests of the whole 
country. It is safe to say that, locked up in our hills to-day, awaiting the action of the 
Federal Government to aid in its extraction, we have as much gold as has already been 
taken out ; and I am convinced that this Government can resort to no means so certain, 
so speedy, and so economical for furnishing it with gold to restore its depleted treasury 
as to permit hydraulic mining, now enjoined in the Federal Courts, to be carried on in 
such a manner as not to destroy agricultural and horticultural interests. It can be done, 
and it will be done, and this country must soon earnestly undertake the work as a national 
enterprise, and carry it to a successful conclusion. 

So much for what California has done for the nation. Let me now briefly state what 
she has done toward making herself a worthy sister, an important factor m the great 
combination of States, a component part of this great republic. Cut off all communica- 
tion with the outside world and, owing to our geographical and topographical position, 
we could still live upon our own resources, and enjoy all the necessaries as well as the 
luxuries of life. 

To say nothing of the scientific inventions with which she has enriched mankind, she 
has taught the world advanced lessons in mining and the laws governing it. She has 
invented and put into practical use the most successful mining machinery ever con- 
structed, thus saving the mining industries of this country millions upon millions of 
dollars annually. She has taught the people that dangers, hardships, privations, suffer- 
ings, and toil can be endured if only the individual wills it. She has furnished the men 
and the brain that conceived, planned, and carried to a successful termination the 
scheme of binding this country together with tie and rail, -making it possible for me in 
less than four days to sweep across the great expanse of country separating San Fran- 
cisco from Chicago. It maj' seem easy now, but how was it when the idea originated 
with these men? 

She has taken the lead in horticulture and viticulture, and stands preeminent to-day 
as the great fruit garden of the nation. Indeed, I may say without fear of contradic- 
tion, that within the last twenty years she has placed the business of horticulture upon 
a scientific. basis, and elevated it to a place among the arts. To-day the most intelligent 
men of the State are engaged in this pursuit. The cultivation of fruit is alluring the 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 91 

cultivated people from all over the country t» California, and is thus creating a class of 
country gentlemen, whose culture, refinement, and generous living have no equal in any 
other State, and in no other pursuit. 

Within the last twelve years this industry has made most wonderful strides. In 1880 
our shipments were only about 500 carloads of dried, canned, and green fruit. In 1892 
they reached the enormous figure of 20,495 carloads, and the number is constantly in- 
creasing. These products have almost ceased to be luxuries, and are fast becoming 
necessaries. The production of the grape and the olive has made most wonderful ad- 
vance in our State during the same period. But the money, enterprise, and intelligence 
engaged in these pursuits have had to contend with the difficulties incident to competi- 
tion with countries whose inhabitants have profited by the accumulated experience 
which generation after generation engaged in tnese pursuits has conferred. They have 
likewise l)een brought into competition with the cheapest of labor, which California can 
not and will not tolerate in any branch of her industries, believing as she does that well- 
paid labor is the cheapest and most beneficial in the world. 

Our raisins and prunes are sure to displace all foreign importations, and our oranges 
and nuts have captured the field. I may mention that the gross yield of fruits, nuts, 
raisins, wines, etc., aggregated last year almost .$33,000,000; our wheat crop was 40,000,000 
bushels, and other grains were in proportion. Our inexhaustible supply of redwood 
lumber, found nowhere else in the world, is called for by every country under the sun. 
But I might talk to you for hours and then could not enumerate all the resources, advan- 
tages, and enterprises imperfectly mentioned here. I have trespassed upon the good 
nature of those present simply to let you know, in my imperfect way, that we have 
earned our position among tne'States of the Union. 

Let me speak a word in regard to the policy of Californians. Her people have alwaj's 
appreciated the fact that every person and every State should contribute something 
toward the general welfare of the race, and accordingly California began early to care 
for her poor, her orphans, and every class of unfortunates within lier borders, until to-day 
no State in the Union is so liberal. She early took upon herself the education of her 
children, and her public and normal schools and State University are the pride of our 
people. 

Notwithstanding this great liberality in public affairs, the State is out of debt, owing 
not a dollar except to herself. She has a small bonded indebtedness, but it is for school 
and university purposes, and therefore she owes it to her own especial wards. Her 
public buildings are all modern, convenient, substantial, and complete in their appoint- 
ments, and our public school buildings are indeed a credit to any State or to any com- 
munity. Her taxes are promptly paid and her appropriations liberal. She does nothing 
she cannot do well. We have in our savings banks about $133,000,000, and the Bank Com- 
missioners estimate that two thirds of this amount belongs to the laboring classes. Our 
banks, with very few exceptions, are in splendid condition, and our building and loan 
associations haVe at least $30,000,000, which also belongs largely to laboring people. 
These items certainly show that our State is in a most excellent financial condition. 

1 believe that the" bill which passed the Legislature, appropriating $300,000 for the 
purpose of having our State represented properly at this time, was the first appropriation 
passed by any State in the Union, and that no State in the Union, except the great State 
of Illinois, has appropriated a larger sum. It was indeed a liberal appropriation for less 
than a million and a half of people to make. But we have made it, and, ]\lr. President, 
at your request I am here to-day to find out what you have done, what you propose to 
do, and to accept from you this building on behalf of our State. 

The bill creating this Commission provided, among other things, that the Governor 
should appoint a Commissioner from each of the seven congressional districts of the 
State, divided between the two great political parties. In compliance with these pro- 
visions I appointed this Commission, and selected, as I believe, the very best man for the 
position in each district, and turned the whole management over to them, believing that 
the interests of the people would be better subserved by placing the management abso- 
lutely in their hands, untrammeled in any manner. It has been to you, gentlem.en of 
the Commission, a thankless task, without pay, but full of annoyances and difficulties, 
and will so continue to the end; yet your patriotic devotion to the interests of our State 
should stimulate you, notwithstanding all these difficulties, to bend every energy in the 
direction of absolute, unqualified success. You are Californians, and represent a people 
and a State that will tolerate nothing less than unqualified success ; and if to accom plisli 
this you are obliged to die in the harness, we will mourn your loss, erect suitable monu- 
ments to your memorj', and at once begin preparations for the next World's Fair. 

This building is indeed a typical California building, and as marked in every feature 
as California itself. Unlike California in one particular, it has been a little slow. The 
building, to have been thoroughly Californian, should have been completed at least a 
month ahead of all other buildings on these grounds. I am satisfied, however, that you 
have done your best, under all the circumstances, and the people will, when fully 
advised, be content, provided that from this time on California's real worth and impor- 
tance are properly presented to the visiting world. Let us hope that you have selected 
thoroughly informed attendant;?, who are familiar with every detail under their charge. 
They should be instructed that their statements to strangers must be candid, conserva- 
tive, and truthful, and that at all times their attentions to visitors must be courteous. 

Mr. President and gentlemen of this Commission, I take pleasure in expressing to you 
my thanks for the faithful, intelligent, and earnest manner in which you have per- 
formed your arduous duties. 



92 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

This building is indeed a credit. to California and the whole country, and its contents, 
including State displays and the splendid exhibits maintained by enterprising counties, 
will, I am sure, attract the attention of every thoughtful person who shall visit these 
grounds. I am confident that the whole State will respond from time to time to your 
demands, and that these attractions will be increased rather than diminished. 

Mr. President, as Governor df California, I now accept your tender of this magnificent 
building, and thank you again, in behalf of our people, for the discharge of your duties. 

I desire also to thank the three National Commissioners from our State, and especially 
the Hon. M. H. de Young, for the earnest, zealous^ and patriotic efforts put forth at all 
times in behalf of California's interests. Much, indeed, is due to those well-directed 
efforts. I desire at this time to express our appreciation of the presence of the distin- 
guished visitors who have so highJj' honored us on this occasion, and to them, and to 
the people generally, I extend California's hearty greeting, trusting that you will soon 
visit our State, and on behalf of my people I extend to you, and to each of you, a most 
cordial invitation, assuring you that we can easily accommodate ten times the number 
we now have, and that the opportunities for success are as good as, if not better than at 
any other time. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for your kind attention. 

After the applause that followed had subsided, and the band had 
played a medley of patriotic airs, the Chairman introduced Gen. T. W. 
Palmer, who spoke on behalf of the National Commission, his humorous 
sallies being thoroughly appreciated by the audience. Among other 
things, he said: 

EBMAEKS BY GEN. T. W. PALMER, PRESIDENT WORLD'S COLUMBIAN COMMISSION. 

I came near being a Californian. In my youthful days, when I was in Rio Janeiro, and 
broke, I tried to get passage on a Spanish transport to the Golden Gate. I came near 
getting it, but a slip intervened, and I was invited to come home instead. If I had gone 
to California, I might have been either under the sod or a millionaire, and I sometimes 
think that the former class have better times than the latter. I congratulate the people 
of California on combining the esthetic, the social, and the commercial in their State 
building. These State buildings are one of the most admirable features of the fair. 
They teach the unity, and yet the diversity, of the States, and proclaim the brotherhood 
of mankind. Men and women of California, your State is a pride to the Union, and your 
people are a pride to their State. 

More music having intervened, M. H. de Young, one of the National 
Commissioners from California, was invited to address the multitude. 
In briefly responding, he said: 

REMARKS BY M. H. DE YOUNG, SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD'S COLUMBIAN 

COMMISSION. 

The only subject we have before us to-day is California. When you think of the fact 
that it is only about forty years since California first began to walk, there seems to be 
yet room to talk of its wonders and greatness. We date our material advance from 1865, 
for it has been scarcely twenty years since we ceased to be isolated from the rest of the 
Union, yet in that time we have made of it not only the greatest gold-producing State in 
the country, but the greatest olive, wine, and beet State in America as well. 

Many years ago, in the good old traditional days, " in the days of old, the days of gold," 
our people turned all their efforts toward wresting the golden nuggets from the bosom 
of tne earth. Then they built cities and towns, houses and mills ; but later they moved 
on and on, and left these signs of civilization to rust and decay. But cooler heads 
returned, and to these are due the present building up of the State. There was some- 
thing left for them — not in the mountains, but in tlie soil — and now every year is return- 
ing wealth more and more. We exchanged our golden nugget for our golden orange. 

1 want to thank the State Board, on behalf of the National Commission, for the 
splendid work it has done in combining these displays of our wonderful products. I 
wish, also, to thank the lady managers. Thej^, too, have done much toward making our 
€xhibit attractive, and their just credit should not be denied them. 

J. M. Samuels, Chief of the Department of Horticulture of the World's 
Columbian Exposition, was next called upon. Being surrounded on 
every side by fruits and flowers he Avas in his element, and had mani- 
festly given due weight to the complimentary words he uttered, which 
were in part as follows: 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 93 

SPEECH OF J. M. SAMUELS, CHIEF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE. 

I feel it is my duty to express my appreciation of what California has done for the 
Department of ilorticulture. The State has occupied every foot of space assigned to her 
in the several divisions of the department with a magnilicent display, besides appropri- 
ating the entire area relinquished by other more tardy or less enterprising common- 
wealths. It is but j\ist to the enterprise of j^our citizens to state the fact that Californians 
are at the present time preeminently in the lead of all exhibitors in the Department of 
Horticulture. To those familiar witti your varied and wonderful resources, and the in- 
telligence and energy of your citizens, this is naturally expected. 

The first evidences that you intended to distance all competitors came in the way of 
complaints. Here was the most convincing proof that you intended doing something. 
I was pleased to note this evidence of your earnestness, and knew sooner or later you 
would take the place of the fellow who readily agreed to accept whatever was offered, 
and was even willing to cut that half in two. 

Gentlemen, I am profoundly grateful to you for your untiring interest in the Depart- 
ment of Horticulture, and the ready response you have made to every request made by 
me, and I wish I could induce the press and the public more.thoroughly to understand 
the sacrifices you are making to keep up a continual fruit display, something that has 
never been attempted at anj' fair before. Your exhibits in pomology, floriculture, horti- 
culture, and arboriculture are but a meager representation of what you intend to have 
in the future, but they are now the wonder and admiration of all nations. 

Changing from horticulture to viticulture, Miss Kate Field, the author 
and lecturer, was then introduced. In part she said: 

REMARKS BY MISS KATE FIELD. 

This is no place for speech-making. It is a time and place when we should all unite 
in a mighty hallelujah to God and man for this, the greatest spectacle the universe has 
ever seen. President Palmer said a few moments ago that he had never been in Cali- 
fornia ; but I have lived there, and know it from Shasta in the north to beautiful San 
Diego in the south. I love every part of the great State, and while there I learned a 
very great lesson. I mean a lesson in the gospel of temperance, for I believe that that 
cause will be advanced more by the use of good pure wine, in place of degrading liquors, 
than through any other medium. 

Your Governor says Californians are perfect; but since I am a semi-Californian, I can 
say thev are no better than the rest of us. The typical American has not j^et been born, 
but will be about two hundred years hence. When he does make his appearance on this 
earth, he will come from California. 

John W. Hutchinson, the last survivor of the famous Hutchinson 
family of vocalists that traveled from city to city years ago, then gave 
voice to a California song, composed by his brother Jesse when crossing 
the plains forty years before. 

This concluded the programme, but a call of "Douglass! Douglass!" 
went up from the audience, and in response Frederick Douglass, the 
venerable colored orator, stepped forward and feelingly referred to Cali- 
fornia as one of the first-born of the States into liberty. Continuing, he 
enlarged upon the thought that greater than California fruit or gold is 
that spirit in her people which could invite him from the audience to 
the platform in recognition of the brotherhood of man, which exists 
beyond State or country, or even race; and that while Californians do 
well to extol the enterprise and productiveness of their State, it is meet 
to remember what is a still greater element in her success, the true man- 
hood and true womanhood of her people. 

. After all these exercises the invited guests assembled in the offices of 
the Commission and in the art gallery, where they were plenteously 
supplied with refreshments, especially California fruits and wines; and 
then, till twilight came, they busied themselves in examining the varied 
contents of the great building, all features serving to make Dedication 
Day one long to be remembered. 



94 EEPOET OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

BANQUET TO GOVERNOR MARKHAM. 

A fitting sequence to the brilliant public exercises connected with 
Dedication Day was a banquet, given at the Auditorium Hotel in 
Chicago, on the evening of June 20th. Speaking- of this event, the 
"Chicago Tribune" of the following day said: "California was the big 
word at the Auditorium banquet hall last night. It appeared on the 
walls of the beautiful ivory and gold room, on the flower-decked tables, 
on the menu cards, on the generous wines, in the faces of the banquet- 
ers, and ever and again in the words of the speakers. It was an appro- 
priate close of a great day in Chicago for the sons of the Golden State. 
The banquet was given in honor of Henry H. Markham, Governor of 
California, by 'Californians in exile,' according to the title page of the 
menu cards." 

The tables were arranged somewhat in the shape of an L, fruits, flow- 
ers, palms, ferns, etc., having been used with splendid decorative effect. 
Only California fruits, wines, and mineral waters were used during the 
repast, all of which received strong words of commendation from the 
sixty gentlemen present. 

Near the close of the dinner, Commissioner Robert McMurray, of Cali- 
fornia, who was the presiding genius and toast-master, arose, and in a 
semi-humorous, but effective speech regarding the lonesomeness of Cali- 
fornians in exile (to be in any spot outside of California was termed 
exile), and their longing for the golden sands and bounteous harvests of 
the Pacific State, proposed the health of the principal guest of the even- 
ing. Governor Markham. 

In responding, the Governor took occasion to speak of the grandeur 
and beauty of the Exposition as a whole, of the far-sightedness of the 
men who had planned and directed it, of the part taken by California 
in contributing to its success, and of the advantages that she offers in 
the line of pleasant outdoor or commercial pursuits. 

Other speakers followed, fully one half the number present responding 
to toasts. Among those seated around the tables were: Governor H. H. 
Markham of California; Gen. T. W. Palmer, President of the World's 
Columbian Commission; M. H. de Young, Second Vice-President; J. M. 
Samuels, Chief of the Department of Horticulture; W. I. Buchanan,

First Ringing of Columbian Liberty Bell on Exposition Grounds— "California Day "

KEPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 95 

CALIFORNIA, OR ADMISSION, DAY. 

An occasion vying in importance with Dedication Day, and serving to 
signalize the rapid growth of the State since the date of American occu- 
pancy, was California, or Admission, Day, September 9, 1893, this being 
the forty-third anniversary of the admission of the State into the Union. 

One of the incidents of the day, occurring before the formal exercises 
at the State building, was the ringing, for the first time on the Exposi- 
tion grounds, of the New Liberty Bell. The making of this bell was 
inspired by a Californian, Mrs. Madge Morris Wagner, through her now 
famous poem that foretold the casting of a bell which should be com- 
posed of captives' chains, heroes' swords, emblems of affection, etc., 
gathered from all nations of the earth, and which should ring only on 
the anniversary of important liberty events in different parts of the 
world, especially America. W. 0. McDowell, of New Jersey, read the 
lines, and set himself to the task of carrying out the idea in its entirety. 
The result was that, after years of effort, a bell weighing 13,000 pounds 
was cast, the constituent parts being 250,000 different pieces of metal. 

Under these circumstances, it was fitting that a Californian should be 
given the most prominent part in the programme, and Miss Alice Scott, 
of San Francisco, daughter of Irving M. Scott, President of the California 
World's Fair Commission, had the honor of ringing the bell for the first 
time at the Exposition. The cord that she used in striking the notes 
was one specially made for the occasion from silk collected from all 
cities in the Union where silk is produced or manufactured. During 
the exercises that followed, Alice Mitchell, daughter of a California pio- 
neer, sang several stanzas of her own composing, entitled "The New 
Liberty Bell." 

In noting the proceedings of Admission Day it will serve to show the 
interest taken in California events generally to quote a description pub- 
lished in the "Chicago Inter-Ocean" of September 10th: 

" California yesterday proved her claim that she is a land of sunshine 
and flowers, and, it might be added, of hospitality. Those who have 
visited the slope know the Calif ornians to be hospitable at home; all the 
world now knows that they are alike hospitable abroad. 

"The State building, inside and out, was in gala attire. Flags and 
flowers of all sizes and colors were profusely used in the decorations. 
Even the old Spanish flag of California was there; so was the old bear 
flag; so were the flags of foreign lands; so was the American flag, bigger, 
prouder, and brighter than all the rest. 

" From the early morning hours men and women wedged themselves 
into the gay building, and others massed themselves outside to wait for 
the distribution of free fruit, a bag or parcel having been promised to 
every man, woman, and child on the grounds — meaning something over 
200,000. Secretary Judkins, in his office, was overwhelmed with friendly 
callers, but he had a kind word and a shake of the hand for all he could 
reach. 

" Not only native and adopted sons and daughters of California turned 
out in great crowds, but nearly every man and woman who had ever 
been a temporary sojourner within the boundaries of the State was on 
hand and claimed the right to wear the golden crest. The Grand Army 
men, the Mexican veterans, and the '49-ers all united with the Cali- 
fornians to help make the fete a memorable occasion. 



96 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

"A special committee of California women took good care of visitors 
of their own sex. It was composed of Mrs. E. 0. Smith, Mrs. A. M. 
Marsellus, Mrs. V. S. Bradley, Mrs. E. S. Cummins, Mrs. A. P. Wiggins, 
Mrs. R. McMurray, Mrs. T. C. Judkins, Mrs. Mary E. Hart, Miss Clara 
Stockton, and Miss Frances E. Hawkins. There were other reception 
committees of pioneers and war veterans. * * * 

"Altiiough the programme announced that the exercises would begin 
at 2 o'clock, it was almost 3 o'clock before the dignitaries arrived and 
took their places on the platform. 

" Vice-President James D. Phelan, of the California World's Fair 
Commission, presided, and delivered this address of welcome: 

"On behalf of the California World's Fair Commission, and in the name of the people 
of our State, I extend to you a cordial welcome, and at the same time thank you for 
your presence in such large numbers here to-day, the natal day of California — tne day, 
forty-three years ago, on which she was given to the Union, a young State, free by the 
act of her citizens. * * * 

"On the great seal of the State is the figure of Minerva, to symbolize the fact that 
California sprang fully equipped into being, without having as a Territory passed 
through the probationary period of waiting and doubt. She was beheld with covetous 
eyes as a stranger, and was hailed from afar as a friend. The people of all the States 
contributed their valor, brawn, and brain, won her, and made her worthy and welcome 
as an American commonwealth. 

"Those men of the older Stales, who fought the battles for our territory, the veterans 
of the Mexican War, we honor and revere ; those men who crossed the mountains and 
deserts, or traversed the stormy seas, fraught with the greatest dangers, who left kith 
and kin, and friends and fireside, to carve fortune and fame in a new land, the hardy 
and masterful spirits of a past generation — the pioneers — the builders of California, the 
heroes of the West, we greet them ; we give them the place of honor at our board and 
in our hearts. 

"We say to all Americans who would share our destiny: If the past is so prolific, 
what may the future hold? But a single generation has since grown — the native sons 
and dang'hters of California — new to the people of the East, yet not unknown. They 
have triumphed not only in the field of material development, but in art, literature, 
music, and the drama, where grow the ripest and fairest fruits on the tree of civilization, 
they have gathered in plenty. 

" ii'rom our schools and universities they go out in yearly increasing numbers to win 
laurels that entwine the brow of their beloved California. And in evidence, it is with 
great pleasure that we have on our platform to-day, and who will address you, not only 
the Mexican veteran and the California pioneer, but a worthy type of the new generation, 
in the person of a United States Senator for California ; and now I beg to introduce to 
you Senator Stephen M. White, who will deliver the oration of the day. 

"Senator Stephen M. White was generously applauded as he came 
forward to deliver the oration for California Day. His speech was an 
eloquent one, and was devoted almost entirely to California history and 
resources. He said in part: 

"ilfr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : We are here to-day to celebrate the forty- 
third anniversary of California's admission to the Union, and to invite our sister States 
to join in common and heartfelt congratulation that the great Western Republic has 
been permitted to give to man this wonderful proof of her resources and her ability 
to endure. 

"No words of mine can add to the eloquent pictures descriptive of this Exposition 
which have heretofore been contributed, and notliing that I might say would add to the 
glory of the renowned navigator who gave this continent to civilization. Nor can I — as 
well as others have done — draw those conclusions from this display which have been 
and must be deduced by the philosophical mind. I shall rapidly glance at California, 
her station and history, for it is her turn to be heard, and it is her duty at this hour to 
give reasons for the pride which she does not seek to conceal. 

" He referred to the experiences of the Mission Fathers, the traits of 
the early Spanish-American settlers, the discovery of gold and the pio- 
neers who went in search of it. He dwelt upon the products of the 
State, its marvelous natural beauties and richness, and its mineral 
wealth. He paid a glowing tribute to the brave and generous men who 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 97 

laid the foundations of the State, and to the noble women who braved 
every peril by land and sea and became mothers of the generation to 
which many still belong. In conclusion, Senator White said: 

"Permit me on behalf of the people of my State to extend to yon all an invitation to 
visit us, especially next winter, durins; which time we expect to hold a Midwinter Fair. 
Congress has generously extended tlie same bonding privileges to foreign exhibitors, 
which have been accorded to this Exposition, and we anticipate presenting a most 
attractive display. We not only invite you for the purpose of enabling you to observe 
those things which are brought to us for exhibition, but we trust that you will examiiae 
our State without discrimination or reference to any particular section. We think that 
you will derive much satisfaction from such investigation. Listening to the music of 
San Diego's sea-shore, as you gaze from Coronado's porches upon the lazy billows, 
silvered in the moonlight, you will detect the advent of the spell ; at Eedondo, Santa 
Monica and Santa Barbara you must recognize the growth of the enjoyment; when you 
reach peerless Monterej', you will be ready to capitulate. Or if, perhaps, you enjoy the 
mountain, upon our great Sierras, amidst the splendid scenic conditions which I have 
sought to portray, you will find gratification beyond my promises. And the hospitable 
city of San Francisco, in whose park our Elxposition will be held, is ready to receive you 
with that liberality for which she is noted ; and if you acquiesce in our offer, I feel con- 
fident that you will bless me for the suggestion. 

" If, whilespeaking in this edifice which California's munificence has built, I have suc- 
ceeded in satisfying any of you that she possesses attractions which make her a worthy 
associate in the great "and indissoluble Union, to whose glory she is delighted to con- 
tribute, my words have not been in vain. 

" After these orations the De Moss family of lyi ic bards sung a song 
entitled ' The Golden State,' especially composed for this occasion. 

" Then Edward E. Chever made a brief address on behalf of the Society 
of California Pioneers. Addison Ballard, President of the Western 
Association of California Pioneers, said a few words by way of greeting, 
and General Stevens spoke on behalf of the Mexican veterans. 

'■ This brought the speech-making to an end. Miss Alice S. Mitchell 
sang a song entitled 'California.' Edmund Russell read an original 
poem entitled ' The Voice of California,' which was written for the occa- 
sion by Emma Frances Dawson, author of 'Old Glory.' 

"A pleasant incident of the exercises was the bringing in of the floral 
Liberty Bell sent by Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, wife of the Vice-President of 
the United States, from Washington to the ladies of the Liberty Bell 
Committee. Mrs. Frank Stewart Osborn, representing that committee, 
presented the bell in turn to the California ladies, and it was gracefully 
accepted in a short speech on behalf of the latter by Mrs. E. 0. Smith. 
The Third Regiment Band of Wisconsin interspersed the exercises with 
music. 

" The distribution of fruit by the California people was the sensation 
of the day. The managers had stands erected outside the building and 
all kinds of fruit in boxes piled mountain-high. There were several car- 
loads of oranges, lemons, nectarines, peaches, pears, grapes, prunes, plums, 
etc., together with raisins, almonds, and walnuts. At 1 o'clock an 
attempt was made to hand out this fruit in paper bags, but within half 
an hour the crowd became so dense that four women fainted and were 
hauled away in an ambulance. The guards lost all control of the strug- 
gling mass of people, and thereafter the fruit was thrown out without 
much regard to system or order. Before dark it was all gone. Special 
baskets of fruit and wine were sent in wagons to each of the State and 
foreign buildings, to the chiefs of departments, and to representatives 
of the press within the grounds. A special supply was also placed at 
the disposal of Grand Army men. Light refreshments were served in 
the building to all invited guests." 

So much publicity had been given to the special feature of fruit-dis-

tribution by this State, especially to the fact that provision would be 
made for a package of fruit for every man, woman, and child who entered 
the Exposition grounds, that California, or Admission Day, which was 
also celebrated by the Grand Army of the Republic and by Utah, 
recorded 231,532 paid admissions to the Exposition grounds, being the 
third largest attendance up to that time, and ranking next to July 4th 
and Illinois Day. 

RECEPTIONS, MEETINGS, ETC. 

Among miscellaneous gatherings provided for at Chicago, was a 
pleasant reception for Californians in the State building, on May 1, 
1893, immediately after the formal exercises at the Administration 
Building, connected with the opening of the World's Columbian Expo- 
sition. There were impromptu speeches, recitations, songs, instrumental 
music, and the formal presentation to the Commission, through Vice- 
President James D. Phelan, of a handsome silk bear flag, the gift of Pacific 
Parlor No. 10, San Francisco, of the Native Sons of the Golden West. 

Late in May, delegates and members of the California Press Associa- 
tion to the number of eighty-four reached Chicago, to attend the sessions 
of the National Editorial Association and the Press Congress. Although 
for a portion of their stay they were guests of the City of Chicago, they 
were frequent visitors to the California Building, coming in groups of 
twos and threes, or more. Informal receptions were given them from 
time to time. They maintained an excellent display of fruits, grains, 
and minerals at their headquarters, near the business center of the city, 
and by their cordial hospitality to editors from other States aided 
materially in advancing the interests of California. 

On June 21st, the State Board of Lady Managers and other ladies in 
the building provided a delightful entertainment for the California school 
children who were given a free trip to the Exposition by the " San Fran- 
cisco Examiner." The central bridge of the gallery was beautifully 
decorated with potted ferns, palms, and flowers, while on long tables was 
spread a feast of native fruits and other products of the Golden State. 
An address of welcome was delivered by Mrs. E. 0. Smith, President of 
the Ladies' Board, which was responded to by Mrs. 0. Black (Annie 
Laurie) of the "Examiner" staff, who was in charge of the children. 
During the repast Governor Markham of California addressed the chil- 
dren in a pleasant, informal style, especially commending them for the 
high percentage of scholarship reached in competition with other public 
school pupils of the State. . Souvenirs were distributed to the juvenile 
guests before they dispersed. 

One of the most notable receptions of the season was that tendered 
by the women of the California Building, July 6th, to Mrs. Madge Morris 
Wagner of San Diego, the object being to give special recognition to the 
fact that it was a California woman whose poem prompted the making 
of the New Liberty Bell. During interesting songs, recitations, and 
speeches, Mrs. Wagner responded feelingly to an address of welcome, 
as did also Wm. 0. McDowell, who had caused the ideal bell to become a 
reality. Miss Pearl Wagner recited her mother's beautiful verses. A 
vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Hillman Smith of San Jose, while a 
quartette of California voices discoursed appropriate music whenever 
called upon. 

Through S. W. Fergusson, who was then Executive Commissioner,

arrangements were made whereby a full day, known as Pioneer Day, 
was set aside for a reception to all California Pioneers who were either 
residing or visiting in the East. Invitations had been sent out in such 
numbers that on August 5th, the date of the reception, the State build- 
ing was filled to overflowing. Mr. Fergusson being suddenly called 
away, an address of greeting was delivered by Dr. N. J. Bird, at that time 
General Manager, and was followed by responses from Addison Ballard, 
President of the Western Association of California Pioneers, C. C. P. 
Holden, George J. Custer, Alexander Majors, H. M. La Rue, George W. 
Hotchkiss, and others. After the usual varied programme, refreshments 
were served to Pioneers and their friends, all of whom had been given 
the freedom of the building. Exposition officials honored the guests 
by giving them special recognition. 

California united with other States, on August 22d, in entertaining the 
officers and cadets from West Point, who were then on detail at the Expo- 
sition. In speaking of the part taken by her the "Chicago Herald" of 
the following morning said: " California cleared its galleries and opened 
wide its handsome parlors for the throng of young soldiers. An orchestra, 
hidden behind palms and ferns,* enlivened the charming crowd that con- 
gregated as guests of the Golden State." 

The anniversary of the discovery of the Pacific Ocean by Balboa in 
1513 was celebrated on September 26th, California being given the prin- 
cipal part in the exercises, which were held in front of the Administra- 
tion Building. Gen. T. W. Palmer, President of the World's Columbian 
Commission; Rev. Flavins Brobst, of Chicago, and others spoke. By 
invitation of Mr. McDowell, Mrs. E. 0. Smith and Mrs. A. M. Marsellus 
represented California in the ringing of the New Liberty Bell. Irving 
M. Scott, President of the California World's Fair Commission, delivered 
the principal address of the day, saying in part, as quoted from the 
" Chicago Herald " of the following day: " The spirit of freedom marks the 
course of events in the history of California. The State occupies a notable 
position in the Union, and when the Rebellion broke out it was Cali- 
fornia's stream of yellow gold into the treasury of the United States 
that made it possible to ring this bell to-day. California's population 
is formed of the most enterprising men who have been able to leave their 
homes and strike for a new career in the West. We have a race of 
people second to none on the globe, and much of our prosperity do we 
owe to the fact of our people having 700 miles of seacoast upon the 
great Pacific, with its 76,000,000 square miles of water." 

On October 11th an informal reception was given to the Veteran 
Firemen of California, who had returned from a tour of the Eastern 
States. During their parade through the Exposition grounds they were 
welcomed by President T. W. Palmer and by Mark L. McDonald of 
California, on behalf of the National Commission. Following the 
parade they were received in the State building by Commissioners 
James D. Phelan, R. McMurray, and W. P. Mathews, and a committee 
of ladies, where speeches were made and refreshments served. 

Miss Harriet Hosmer was pleasingly entertained on October 21st, in 
recognition of her statue of Isabella. Mrs. H. W. R. Strong was in 
charge of the exercises, which were held in the Pampas Palace. Remarks 
were made by Miss Hosmer, May Wright Sewall, and others. Ina D. 
Coolbrith, of California, read a poem written by herself, entitled " Isa- 
bella of Spain." Refreshments followed in the reception-room of the 



100 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

Commission, many celebrated women exchanging pleasantries as they 
ate California fruit and sipped the pure juice of California grapes. 
Among the guests were Susan B. Anthony, May Wright Sewall, Kate 
Field, Lillian Whiting, and Baroness Dahlerup, of Denmark. 

On October 23d an instrumental recital was given in the Art Gallery 
by five gifted sons and daughters, known as the ." Beasey Children," of 
California. The assembled guests were more than delighted at the violin, 
cornet, and piano solos, and also with the usual spread of California 
fruits, etc., that followed. 

The International Correspondents' Club was given quarters in the Cali- 
fornia Building and weekly meetings were held there during a good por- 
tion of the Exposition. The Western Association of California Pioneers 
was assigned suitable space for their gatherings. Smaller societies also 
held meetings there, among them being the National Business League of 
America and the National Floral Emblem Society of America. Several 
rooms were placed at the disposal of the officers of the California Mid- 
winter International Exposition for their headquarters. 

After the close of the Exposition, a banquet was given in the rooms 
of the Commission to all Californians who, in any capacity, were con- 
nected with the State and county exhibits. The best of feeling pre- 
vailed, the event seeming more like the reunion of a large family than 
a formally prepared feast. Many pleasant speeches were made, and 
national hymns and home ballads sung, general regret being expressed 
that similar gatherings had not been held frequently. Details of all the 
above ceremonies appeared in a pamphlet, published late in 1893, entitled 
" Literary and other Exercises in the California State Building."

SAMPLE COMMENTS OF THE PRESS AND PROMINENT 
OFFICIALS, ON CALIFORNIA'S EXHIBIT AT THE WORLD'S 
COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, 1893. 



I 



"It will be found impossible to see at all satisfactorily in one half-day 
the almost countless things brought together under the vast roof of the 
California State Building, from even one of that grand State's principal 
divisions; and to have even a hurried view of the innumerable things 
contained in all the great departments of this immense and interesting 
structure — interesting in itself, apart from what is inside of it — several 
whole days will be required. This is many times the largest State 
building in Jackson Park, save one. There is appropriateness in this, 
California being many times larger than any other State except Texas, 
and having a variety and perfection of products that no other State, 
nor, indeed, country in the world, can show. * * * So intelligent 
has been the selection and combining of objects, and so effectively are 
they displayed, that no visitor to the California Building can fail to be 
impressed abidingly with much that is before him, though unassisted in 
his examination." — Herald, Chicago, 111., August 7, 1893. 

" But the State which shines far and away above all others as a fruit- 
producer, is sunny California. Nothing in the whole exhibition even 
approaches the display made by the Californians. Their State building 
is literally fragrant with the scent of oranges, although a thousand and 
one other articles of product are displayed within the walls of the large 
and handsome edifice. No one can visit the building without finding a 
new significance in the phrase ' The Golden State.' * * * Grains, 
fruits, wines, timbers, and mineral ores are profusely exhibited within 
the State building, but fruits at every turn are the main product that 
catch the eye. In the Horticultural Building proper, side by side with 
a score of competing countries and states, the California fruit display 
surpasses that of every rival. Immense trophies of lemons, oranges, 
walnuts, and prunes produce massive effects, while the table and bottled 
displays are of immense extent. The beautiful colored oranges are in 
striking contrast to the dingy specimens from Florida." — Age, Melbourne, 
Australia, July 22, 1893. 

"The California State Building is said to be the most popular State 
building at Jackson Park, the usual attendance of visitors being 
40,000."— World, Chicago, 111., July 12, 1893. 

" If I were giving out architectural medals. New York and California 
would get them, with an honorable mention to Idaho. * * * The 
whole large building (California) is fragrant with oranges, which are 
piled in every conceivable shape. * * * jJo, I do not really see how 
California could have done better than that which she set out to do. 
* * * You may take it in its whole rambling picturesque length, or 
you may take a bit of quaint, red-tiled tower with branches slanting

across its white walls, or an arched doorway with palms nodding beside 
it, and from any point of view you have a picture." — Times, Chicago, 
111., July 20, 1893. 

" It is California Day, and the name of itself is enough to make it 
worthy of special consideration. The State has made a remarkably 
creditable record in the White City. * * * Xhe State never does 
things by halves. It is great in many ways, its peculiarities of produc- 
tion being well adapted to expositional purposes. One of the features 
of the day will be the free distribution of fruit by California to all 
visitors." — Inter-Ocean, Chicago, 111., September 9, 1893. 

"Anything tending to convey the idea that California is not ' in it,' 
and cannot produce good fruit, will eventually do us harm. We cannot 
afford to rest on our laurels the claim we secured on our Florida seed- 
lings. This is an age of progression. I trust we are progressing some. 
I think I can see some change in the eighteen years I have been here. 
California has a progressive people. They have enterprise and vim. 
If any one doubts it let him visit the great World's Fair. View the two 
State buildings as far as you can see them. Note the contrast: Ours, 
typical of an old prison-pen of barbaric ages; theirs, typical of the great 
California missions. They have put into their exhibition money without 
stint. They have whole orange groves, and waving palms and other 
plants to greet the eyes of the lovers of tropical scenery. They do not 
fail to improve every opportunity to advertise their State. While, 
alasl Where, oh! where are we?" — Special correspondence in Florida 
Agriculturist. 

"While Utah was modestly carrying out her exercises, California (on 
Admission Day, Septeoiber 9th) was making herself felt from one end 
of the globe to the other. People of all nations, classes, and colors 
rushed for the California Building. Carload after carload of fruit was 
thrown out in the vast throng gathered in front of the building. It 
took a hundred Columbian guards to maintain order and keep a pass- 
ageway in the street. People by the thousands carried away bunches 
of grapes, and pears, peaches, oranges, and plums to the extent of eight 
carloads. The ladies were taken into the California Building and given 
anything called for, and more." — Tribune, Salt Lake, Utah, September 
15, 1893. 

"California has exhibits in more buildings at the fair than any other 
State. In the Woman's Building the richness and beauty of the Cali- 
fornia Room awaken admiration, while the State building itself is a 
veritable fairy land." — Globe, Chicago, 111., September 17, 1893. 

"California has fairly outdone all the States, and her big building 
heaped with barrels of sparkling wine, tons of delicious fruit, grain, and 
vegetables, is a never-failing source of delight to exposition sight-seers." 
Herald, Chicago, HI., September 17, 1893. 

" Beyond all question California has the greatest exhibit in the For- 
estry Building, and assuredly attracts the most attention and receives the 
greatest amount of admiration. There is no time during the day when 
the space is not crowded with visitors, all of whom express in ohs and 
ahs their wonder and amazement or stand spellbound at the beauties so 
lavishly displayed." — Tribune, Orange, Texas, October 20, 1893.

"The California Building is an exposition in itself. Architecturally 
the structure is unique." — Leader, Gallion, Ohio, July 16, 1893. 

'' The California Building teems with fruit and grains of all kinds. 
* * * It seems as if everything that grows in sub-tropical and 
temperate zones were produced in California." — Times, Dell Rapid, 
Dakota, July 18, 1893. 

"The feature of California Day was undoubtedly the fruit distribution. 
No other State would attempt anything so ambitious, or do it half so 
well. Though the yellow badges and golden bears of the sons of Cali- 
fornia were everywhere visible both in and outside the building." — Tri- 
bune, Chicago, 111., September 10, 1893. , 

"The crowd in front of the building on September 9, 1893, was so 
dense that three women fainted in the first half-hour. People, after an 
hour or so, became so tightly wedged together it was found impossible 
to pass out the fruit in original packages, and it was finally tossed out 
in regular baseball fashion into the uplifted hands of thousands. It was 
estimated that fully 50,000 people either got some fruit or watched 
others get it." — Tribune, Greeley, Colo., September 21, 1893. 

" It is very flattering to all Californians to hear the praises bestowed 
upon their display in every department, from the California Building to 
its horticultural, viticultural, and floricultural displays in the Horti- 
cultural Building, its native woods in the Forestry Building, its beauti- 
ful displays of onyx, marbles, and minerals in the Mining Building, one 
piece of onyx about two feet square having been sold for li!o,000." — 
Express, Los Angeles, July 12, 1893. 

" California has a lavish display in its building of all the different 
products of nature that have made the State famous, such as gold, fruits, 
etc. The building in itself is a most interesting historical exhibit." — 
Journal, Chicago, 111., October 15, 1893. 

"Mr. Opie Reed is a prominent figure in literary Chicago. I asked 
him the usual question, 'What do you think of our exhibit?' He 
quickly answered: * California's exhibit will be worth $20,000,000 to her. 
It surpasses the combined displays of any other ten States. She is 
beyond rivalry. Washington is the only State that approaches her. 
She seems to unite in herself Europe, Asia, and Africa. Even the 
building is a marvel. * * * Judged by her display, California is 
the foremost State in the Union.' " — Charles Edwin Markham, in the 
Californian, November, 1893. 

"The ladies of California have done a very graceful thing with the 
room assigned them in the Woman's Building. They have laid a hard- 
wood floor of natural California woods, and have inlaid the sides and ceil- 
ing with the same. These are of all colors and are very highly polished. 
But the prettiest thing in the California room is the display of cacti. In 
the center there stands a gigantic plant, and at the corners and in the 
windows there are more cactus plants. The walls are painted with cacti 
leaves and flowers, and when you enter the room the first idea you get 
is that you are in Southern California in a great cactus grove, wdth the 
long leaves hanging over your head, and the warm, sweet cactus smell 
blowing around you It is lovely, and you would like to linger there, 



104 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

even though you are not from California, and do not expect to meet any 
California friends." — Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wis., June 13, 1893. 

"The architecture of the California Building, opened yesterday, is most 
creditable to the State, the World's Fair, and every one concerned." — 
Mail, Chicago, 111., June 20, 1893. 

"California's State building is no doubt the most artistically instruct- 
ive of any in the World's Fair State group, and was more beautiful 
than ever this afternoon, in honor of ' California Day ' exercises within 
its imposing walls." — Argus, Albany, N. Y., June 20, 1893. 

" Do I think California will be recompensed for the money it has 
spent at Chicago? I think it will come back ten times over. The figure 
California makes at the World's Fair is a grand thing for the State. 
Every one talks about California and what it has done there. At a 
banquet with which I was complimented at the Auditorium, Major 
Moses P. Handy, Chief of the Bureau of Publicity and Promotion, 
made a speech in which he put the thing logically and truthfully. He 
said that California had d&ne more for the success of the fair than any 
other State, because it was the first to come forward with a handsome 
appropriation, and he had been able to use it as an example with the 
representatives of other States and of foreign governments." — Interview 
with Governor H. H. Markham, Express, Los Angeles, July 8, 1893. 

"The building (California) contains one of the finest and largest 
exhibits of cereals, trees, flowers, fruits, wines, ores, and other produce 
of their State — excelling that of every other State in the Union." — Inde- 
pendent, Grand Island, Nebraska, July 10, 1893. 

" I sat for hours the other evening on the south porch of the Indiana 
Building. * * * To the right the immense California Building 
looked in every detail what it was meant to represent — an old Spanish 
mission — and in that quiet time, when the odor of its many flowers 
floated faintly in the still air, it was easy to imagine one's self in the old 
Spanish garden and among the riotous semi-tropical growths which 
embowered the old California missions." — Special correspondence. Tele- 
graph, Macon, Georgia, July 9, 1893. 

" If I were asked what one word best expresses California, I should 
answer, ' plenty.' ' The moment I enter her building I feel like eating 
and drinking,' exclaims a friend. Hospitality permeates the atmos- 
phere. Everybody is glad to see you, seats are frequent, reception-rooms 
abound, pictures hang everywhere, and the most creditable art galleries 
lure you up one flight of stairs. * * * Because California has done 
everything in a way commensurate with its size, I am not surprised at ' 
the showing made at the World's Fair. Standing near the main entrance, 
California's State building commands more attention than any other, 
and deservedly. Architecturally it is beautiful; moreover, it is the most 
characteristic structure in Jackson Park. In appropriating $300,000 
for a World's Fair exhibit, California's Legislature showed great worldly 
wisdom. Had that amount been doubled the wisdom would have been 
so much greater, for, as an investment, California never spent so' little for 
so much." — Kate Field's Washington, Washington, D. C. 

" California has, of course, the finest display of fruit, both fresh and 
preserved." — Boomerang, Laramie, Wyoming, July 24, 1893.

" With her usual progressiveness California has taken foremost rank 
among the States exhibiting at the World's Fair. * * * The style 
of architecture is that which was introduced by the mission fathers. It 
is a style peculiar to the State, and has made the building stand out 
conspicuously among the other State buildings. It also has another 
distinction, in being not merely a headquarters for Californians, but a 
building in which the natural resources of the State have been shown. 
Standing at the head of all fruit-producing States, her exhibit of citrus 
and deciduous fruits has been one of the greatest attractions during the 
continuance of the fair. With commendable enterprise and an eye to 
the future of the State, the commission having charge of her exhibit 
has left nothing undone whereby California could be brought prom- 
inently before the world as the best country for the home-seeker. Not 
content with the magnificent showing made in her own building, she 
has occupied space in many of the department buildings. In the Agri- 
cultural, Horticultural, Forestry, and Mining departments, the State 
has taken rank with all others in her several displays. This has been 
especially so in the Horticultural department." — World's Columbian 
Exposition Illustrated, Chicago, November, 1893. 

"The display of fruits, both fresh and preserved, is no less interesting 
than the floral display. California of course takes precedence, San Luis 
Obispo and San Bernardino counties making the best show." — Wisconsin, 
Milwaukee, AVis., September 9, 1893. 

"California has a very fine building, and what is more, they have 
something inside of it, too! The Californians know a good thing when 
they see it and are not slow to 'catch on.'" — Argus-Union, Jacksonville, 
Florida, June 9, 1893. 

"The great California Building, next to that of Illinois the largest 
State building in the World's Fair grounds, was formally opened Mon- 
day. It is one of the most beautiful and picturesque on the grounds, 
being of Spanish stvle of architecture, fashioned after the old missions 
of Southern California."— J5Zade, Toledo, Ohio, June 20, 1893. 

" I sauntered up the broad avenue to the California Building, which 
is always fresh and green and cool, like the interior of an old Spanish 
mission, of which it is a copy." — Eagle, Marinette, Wis., September 7, 
1893. 

"On California Day, at the World's Fair, the California people gave 
away about six carloads of fruit. A large platform was erected in front 
of the State building, upon which peaches, grapes, plums, pears, and 
oranges were piled in profusion, and were given without stint to the 
crowds. ' California has from the first,' says Professor Bailey, ' shown a 
liberality in her displays at the fair, which should put many of the 
older States to shame.' Advertising is one secret of the success of 
California huit."— Belt, Breton,* N. Y., October 20, 1893. 

" People appear to be in a state of excitement as they stand around 
and descant on the things displayed in the California Building. Every 
one seems to want to have a connecting link with California — either 
they have a relative there or a friend, or have made a visit, or announce 
that they never will die happy till they have made the trip. It is 
almost touching to hear the longings and the affection that nearly every 



106 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

one here seems to have for the State, and the admiration they have for 
the building." — Special correspondence in Times, Oakland, California, 
June 15, 1893. 

" California has a grand exhibit in all departments. There we found 
sugar beets weighing thirty pounds; cornstalks fifteen feet eleven inches 
high; squashes five feet eleven inches by four feet seven inches; horse 
and rider, beautiful to see, made of prunes and dried apples; onions, six 
inches across. We will not take space to tell of her fruits, but her 
grapes and oranges were simply immense." — Herald, Traverse, Mich., 
October 19, 1893. 

" No State more nobly seconded Chicago and Illinois in contributing 
to make the Exposition a great success than California, and ' The 
Graphic ' is glad of the opportunity afibrded in its issue of this week to 
call attention, in a special manner, to the exceedingly generous and 
interesting display made by the great Coast State. The various exhibits 
made and their interest and importance are described elsewhere. But 
so marked in character are these, and they add such an interest to the 
fair, that every one of the nearly 20,000,000 of people who have visited 
the Exposition will carry away a vivid impression of the greatness and 
resources of the State by which they were contributed. Especially is 
this true as regards California's horticultural products. California has 
long been called the Golden State, but the descriptive title has come 
in recent years to have an added meaning. The golden fruit of this 
American Hesperides has been coming to Chicago and the East in such 
fabulous quantities, and in return such a tide of gold has been started 
toward California, that the old preeminence of the State in minerals 
seems in danger of being shadowed by the growing importance of her 
vast and varied horticultural products." — The Graphic, Chicago, 111., 
October 21, 1893. 

" Of the State buildings, the greater number, were you pressed for time, 
might be omitted ^Yithout much loss. There are a few of the AVestern 
States, however, which make an exhibit of their resources, and these are 
really interesting. California's fine old mission building is full of a 
goodly display of Ceres' children. As you all doubtless know, California 
fruit and vegetables grow to immense size. We saw an anchor of regu- 
lar size formed of three gourds; an immense beet-root, labeled 'I am a 
beet'; and a photograph of a pumpkin-field, in the foreground of which 
lay three immense pumpkins, one bearing a drawing of a house with a 
sign, ' Rooms to let,' and another marked off in lots with a placard stuck 
up on a stick, ' Ground to let in Pumpkinville.' The fruit looks delicious, 
and makes you break the 'thou shalt not covet' commandment at every 
step. In the gallery will be found the 'poppy-room.' The poppy is the 
State flower, and the decorations, tiling, and furnishings of this room are 
entirely in poppy red. If you get mela'iicholy while at the fair, take a 
saunter into the poppy-room, as I have recently learned that in the 
insane asylums which are run scientifically, patients afflicted with mel- 
ancholia are imprisoned for an hour in a brilliant red room, which cheers 
them up wonderfully." — Athlete, Philadelphia, Pa., June 14, 1893. 

" Saturday I completed the State buildings. California, in my impres- 
sion, takes the place of honor in the exhibits in its building, principally 
fruits." — Republican, Ravenna, 0., June 21.

"Nine out of every ten persons asked would probably say that all the 
olive oil used in America was imported. Step into the California 
Building and see the pyramid built with quart and pint bottles filled 
with this liquid, as a part of the exhibit of Santa Barbara County, and 
get informed." — News, Slatington, Pa., June 24, 1893. 

" The California exhibit is simply immense. In the California Build- 
ing, which is a very large one, there is a most wonderful display, and 
then in the great buildings devoted to mining, horticulture, agriculture, 
etc., your State makes a truly remarkable showing. If Californians are 
in love with their State they ought to come here and see the proud posi- 
tion she occupies, and hear the expressions of wonder and amazement 
from visitors who throng the State building and from those who linger 
around her displays in the department buildings." — Special correspond- 
ence, Independent, Yuba City, Cal., June 30, 1893. 

"It does not require one to look long or far to see that something 
besides gold will grow and can be raised there in California. In keeping 
with the very early days, California has builded her home in the archi- 
tecture of that period, and the building is an exhibit in itself." — Jaurnal- 
Neios, Hayward, Wis., June 28, 1893. 

"There are 117 American competitors in the Section of Viticulture 
from the whole of the United States. Of these no fewer than 85 are 
from California, and many of the Californian exhibitors make elaborate 
displays, equaling those of the European courts for their massive effect- 
iveness. — ^ge, Melbourne, Australia, July 22, 1893. 

"California is represented in nearly every department of the Exposi- 
tion, its State appropriation being $300,000, afterwards greatly increased 
by the generosity of its citizens. * * * Its exhibits are among the 
greatest and grandest on the grounds, its mineral products alone excell- 
ing them silV— World, Denver, Colo., July 22, 1893. 

" California has done and is doing much to turn the tide of popula- 
tion from the cities to the country, through the pleasing inducements of 
an occupation in which not only fruit but health may be picked from 
the laden boughs of her orange groves, or from the vineyards that pur- 
ple her hills. And California welcomes all comers. This is, in fact, one 
reason for her great and attractive display at the fair." — The Graphic, 
Chicago, 111., October 21, 1893. 

" California and Washington really have the two most complete ex- 
hibits of the fair. California's is dazzling. Everybody has heard of 
California and expected much from her. They got all they expected, 
possibly more." — Times, Seattle, Washington, August 11, 1893. 

"The largest and most attractive fruit display is that made by Cali- 
fornia in citrus fruits." — Advertiser, London, Eng., August 26, 1893. 

"California oranges occupy more space than any other exhibit, the 
counties of the famous fruit State vying with each other in their effort 
at displa3^ Fruit preserved in glass jars also makes an exceptionally 
fine exhibit. The stately grandeur of the numerous palms, and the 
beauty of the flowers, afford a satiety of enjoyment to the visitor." — 
Messenger, Cleveland, Ohio, September 5, 1893. 

" California entwined the purple and gold of her sun-kissed fruit with 
the nation's colors, and scattered in the lap of the world the treasures 



108 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

of her vineyards. She gave all who came a foretaste of that hospitality 
she will extend to the visitors at her own exposition next winter. Thou- 
sands came to her building and not one came away empty handed. 
* * The idea was that there should be sufficient to furnish 300,000 
visitors with samples of real California fruit. If any one was over- 
looked in the distribution, the California officials don't know it and are 
not responsible. One had only to go to the building to get a great clus- 
ter of white grapes, big golden pears, or peaches, such as are seen only 
in California. * * * There was an air of prosperity and abun- 
dance about it all that is seen in no other State building. Great palms 
waved their green plumes against the roof beams, and the sweet perfume 
of flowers and fruits made the air heavy with fragrance. Wines and 
cake were served during the afternoon, and always, before and after 
everything else, fruit. Californians who saw the building for the first 
time were immensely pleased with it." — Times, Chicago, 111., September 
10, 1893. 

" They are always doing something at the California Building to keep 
up the interest." — Herald, Chicago, 111., September 25, 1893. 

" Some of these great monarchs of the forest (in the California exhibit) 
are of startling dimensions. * * * What should we think in Eng- 
land of trees with bark 48 inches thick, or one with a burl 20 by 10 
feet, 200 feet from the ground? See the mammoth redwood plank in 
the forest section which measures 16 feet 5 inches wide and 12 feet 9 
inches long by 5 inches thick, cut from a tree 300 feet high, 28 feet from 
the butt. This great tree from which the plank was hewn was 35 feet 
in diameter, and supposed to have reached a patriarchal age of fifteen 
hundred years. * * * You also see a perfectly clean board 16 by 
6 feet without a single flaw, a grand specimen of what can be cut from 
trees which may be numbered by hundred of thousands, if not by 
hundreds of millions." — From a book, "Across the Atlantic," by Robt. 
Anderson Naylor, of England. 

"Upon the lawn on two sides of the building (California) are seen 
native trees and shrubs, rose trees, the sago palm, orange, lemon, olive, 
banana, and one date palm 35 feet in height that ought not to leave 
the Exposition without a medal, for it has done its best to prove that 
Chicago's skies are not as unpropitious for the development of southern 
fruit as we had supposed, for there this majestic, silent visitor had blos- 
somed and put forth fruit, turning its great bunches of dates toward the 
southern sky, as if to evince its longing for the far-away land. * * * 
Within the historic walls of the California Building have been gathered 
in lavish profusion the luscious fruits of the soil, the enormous vegetable 
productions, a bewildering display of cereals, timbers of gigantic pro- 
portions, and ores; while in the gallery is a collection of valuable 
paintings, needlework, and a very complete historical collection." — The 
National Popular Review, Chicago, November, 1893. 

"This is the only State building (California) to provide an art gal- 
lery of its own, selecting the pictures with the same care that was 
bestowed on the Fine Arts Gallery. * * * The collection is said to 
equal the exhibitions in Boston and New York, and this recognition is 
something of a compensation, for after bringing pictures two thousand 
miles, it is certainly comforting to know that they stand the test. Forty

out of the one hundred paintings are by artists who were born in the 
State.''— The Arts, Chicago, August, 1893. 

" People outside of that proud State never saw so many Californians 
in a single crowd as they saw in and around the long, white California 
Building yesterday afternoon. They swarmed like bees in and out of 
an overcrowded hive in the harvest time. And there was plenty of 
honey, in the form of choice fruits, for all these human bees to suck. 
California proved her claim that she is the land of sunshine and flowers, 
and, it might be added, hospitality. Those who have visited the slope 
know the Californians to be hospitable at home; all the world now 
knows they are alike hospitable abroad." — Inter-Ocean, Chicago, 111., 
Septeinber 10, 1893. 

" The Illinois Building has from the start attracted more visitors than 
any other State building, because it is really one of the main structures 
of the fair, with California's building second; but since her great dis- 
plaj^ on the 9th, California has been the chief attraction. The building 
is not easily described. The central plan is that of a regular old mission 
of adobe, but to relieve the somberness of such a structure, Moorish 
features have been added, and a low central dome, with roof garden and 
outer platform for restaurant' purposes. The whole affair is said by 
experts to violate all the rules of architecture which can be violated in 
one building, and yet, the general effect is pleasing. It seems like a 
bit of Granada in Moorish times, of Mexico and Mission California all 
in one." — Neivs, Milwaukee, September 14, 1893. 

"California's wood display, through the praiseworthy efforts of Mr, 
Hatch, a pioneer of our State, has attained a just position as a leader of all 
the others. Under his ever-ready hand, a magnificent collection,, show- 
ing the value and beauty of the various kinds of woods, has been placed 
where it can and does attract the rapt attention of the visitor. Crowds 
pass daily through the space allotted to his efforts, and from one and 
all issue exclamations of wonder and admiration, for the simple var- 
nishing process has brought out, in telling effect, the odd lines of the 
redwood, madrone, bright laurel, myrtle, sycamore, elm, and many other 
equally iDeautiful creations. The natives as well as the foreigners gaze 
with undisguised emotions at the great burls of the sequoia, 6 feet and 
8 feet across, whose surfaces have acquired a finish like unto that of 
richly colored marble; so hard that they repel the ax and so heavy that 
they would sink like stone, yet their beauty is unassailable by that of 
any other woods. * * * Taking our exhibit as a whole, California 
may be well pleased, for such specimens as it includes were never dis- 
played to the public before in any such perfected degree." — Pacific Coast 
Wood and Iron, San Francisco, September, 1893. 

" Much time can be pleasantly arid profitably spent in the California 
State building, which rivals all in its exhibition of fruits." — Special 
correspondence in Tribune, Warren, Ohio, September 21, 1893. 

"Across the way is another exposition that is of itself worth going 
many miles to see. It is the California Building. In an imitation of 
an old mission house, enlivened and embellished here and there, the Cali- 
fornians have installed more than two acres of products of their wonder- 
ful country — their fruits, nuts, forestry, cereals, minerals. One could

spend a day here with great profii, for it is one of the most attractive 
exhibits on the grounds." — Times, Dubuque, la., June 2, 1893. 

" California is represented in every one of the great department build- 
ings, and her wine display in the Horticultural Building is of special 
attraction, as are also many of her tropical fruit exhibits." — Neios, Chi- 
cago, 111., June 19, 1893. 

" California's building is a delight to the eye, fashioned after the grace- 
ful lines of the Moorish-Spanish architecture, and, like the State, is huge 
in its proportions." — Herald, Glenwood, Colo., May 24, 1893. . 

" The building (California) is one of the largest State buildings on the 
grounds, and is filled to overflowing with interesting exhibits. One place 
in this building is worthy of much note, and that is the art gallery. 
Some of the very best paintings to be found on the grounds are there." — 
Herald, Clinton, la., June 10, 1893. 

"The general impression of the visitor, upon entering California's 
great building at the fair, is one of tropical luxuriance and vastness. 
The great golden globe of oranges; the statue of California, bearing 
upon her brow the star of empire; the statue of heroic size of James W. 
Marshall, the discoverer of gold in California; the towering form of 
the horse and rider made of prunes; the pampas plumes and palm 
leaves everywhere; and above all the towering palm tree under the 
center of the dome, with fountains playing about its base, combine to 
give an impression wholly different from that given by any other State 
building, and only to be compared in novelty and variety to the exhibits 
of far eastern countries in the great Exposition. It is the exhibit, in 
short, of a State which is even now preparing of itself to conduct the 
great enterprise of a World's Midwinter Fair — a State of boundless 
resources, energy, and enterprise." — The Graphic, Chicago, October 21, 
1893. 

"In its massiveness of timber, and its beautifully grained lumber 
polished to a handsome degree, California stands first among all the 
States, and its exhibit of timber resources is attractive and marvelous. 
Some of the slabs of redwood are pictured over like the landscapes 
discernible on moss agate, and all the woods — conifers predominating — 
are susceptible of the highest degree of polish. Not connected with the 
California exhibit, but from California, is a private exhibit of the 
' biggest plank ' ever sawed. The one plank would form the flooring 
for a sixteen-foot room, and no Persian rug was ever figured to look so 
beautiful as its polished surface, the grain curling in beautiful and intri- 
cate shapes." — Inter-Ocean, Chicago, July 26, 1893. 

" California was the first State in the Union to make an appropriation 
for the great World's Fair, and her generosity was exceeded by only 
one State — that of Illinois; and her promptness and enterprise were 
used as a potent argument by every promoter of that fair to induce 
other States and foreign countries to come forward and help the work 
along. Yes, Mr. President, California's action in that respect was of 
incalculable benefit to the promoters of that great undertaking, and for 
it her people have justly received the applause of the whole country. 
California was the only State that had for herself a distinctive ex- 
hibit which constituted one of the chief attractions of the renowned 
White City, and this, too, while competing with the world in the general

display in other buildings. Forty thousand people a day visited Cali- 
fornia Building, and marveled at the enterprise of our people. It was 
a grand success, and accomplished all that its fondest advocates could 
possibl}'' have anticipated." — Speech of Governor H. H. Markham, Jan- 
uary 27, 1894, at opening exercises of Midwinter Fair, San Francisco. 

" One of the most interesting features of the California exhibit in the 
State building is the historical department, which occupies the entire 
south end of the upper floor. The display is divided into four groups, 
representing the four eras covering the history of that State. They are 
the Indian era, the mission era, the immigration era, and the present 
era. The articles exhibited are very numerous, interesting, and educa- 
tional."— rriftuwe, Chicago, 111., July 27, 1893. 

" The mineral exhibit is, of course, superb. Every one who thinks of 
California inevitably thinks of it as a land of gold, and for this reason 
there is a fitness as well as artistic propriety in placing the bronze statue 
of James W. Marshall, the discoverer of gold in California, in a prom- 
inent place in the mineral exhibit. The man who first saw the glitter 
of virgin gold in California, January 19, 1848, is represented as holding 
an immense nugget of the precious metal in his hands, while around 
the pedestal are placed a fine display of gold nuggets and gold quartz 
such as many a forty-niner gathered in bushels in his dreams in the 
new land of gold nearly a half century ago." — Graphic, Chicago, 111., 
October 21, 1893. 

" I congratulate the people of California on combining the esthetic, 
the social, and the commercial in their State building. * * * Men 
and women of California, 3'our State is a pride to the Union, and your 
people are a pride to their State." — From speech of T. W. Palmer, Pres- 
ident World's Columbian Commission, Chicago, June 19, 1893. 

" I feel it my duty to express my appreciation of what California has 
done for the Department of Horticulture. The State has occupied every 
foot of space assigned to her in the several divisions of the department 
with a magnificent display, besides appropriating the entire area relin- 
quished by other more tardy or less enterprising commonwealths. It is 
but just to the enterprise of your citizens to state the fact that Califor- 
nians are at the present time preeminently in the lead of all exhibitors 
in the Department of Horticulture. * * * i wish I could induce the 
press and the public more thoroughly to understand the sacrifices you are 
making to keep up a continual fruit display, something that has never 
been attempted at any fair before. Your exhibits in pomology, floricult- 
ure, horticulture, and arboriculture are but a meager representation of 
what you intend to have in the future, but they are now the wonder and 
admiration of all nations." — From speech of J. M. Samuels, Chief of the 
Department of Horticulture, at dedication of California Building, June 
19, 1893. 

"I want to thank the State (California) Board, on behalf of the 
National Commission, for the splendid work it has done in combining 
these displays of our wonderful products. I wish, also, to thank the 
Lady Managers. They, too, have done much toward making our exhibit 
attractive, and their just credit should not be denied them." — From 
speech of M. H. de Young of California, Second Vice-President World's 
Columbian Commission, at Chicago, June 19, 1893. 



112 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

" Relative to the part taken by the State of California in the work of 
preparing for and holding the World's Columbian Exposition, 1 feel it 
difficult to express in suitable terms the admiration and gratitude which 
the hearty cooperation of that State has called for in the management 
of the Exposition. Not only was the appropriation of California an 
exceedingly liberal one, viz., three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars, 
but the promptness with which the appropriatioij was made had a great 
influence in determining the action of other State Legislatures. Cali- 
fornia was the first State to respond to the call for State appropriations, 
and set a standard which in large measure determined the action of the 
principal States of the Union. Relative to the exhibit contained in the 
California Building, I can say that in the dealings between the repre- 
sentatives of your State and the administration of the Exposition there 
has been an impression of broad-minded liberality and magnificent 
loyalty to the interests and welfare of the State of California in all 
transactions of the California Commission. The exhibits were wonder- 
fully varied and admirably installed, and presented a better idea of the 
climate, geography, products, resources, and social status of the State of 
California and its people than could have been obtained by traveling 
over the State itself for many weeks. I feel justified in saying that at 
every stage in the enterprise the management has found itself under 
renewed obligations to the State of California and its representatives at 
the Exposition." — Letter from H. N. Higinbotham, President World's 
Columbian Exposition, dated March. 5, 1894. 

" Gratified by the extent, importance, and very great attractiveness 
of the display made by California in every one of the departments of 
the Exposition, the members of this committee extend to the State 
authorities, to the California World's Fair Commission, and to the 
many exhibitors so well represented, our warmest congratulations." — 
Letter from John Boyd Thacher, Chairman Executive Committee on 
Awards, dated March 10, 1894. 

"To say that California was one of the States represented at Jackson 
Park would be misleading, for the Exposition was spoken of as the 
World's Fair and the California Exhibit. No other State could be 
compared with California; indeed, it would seem now, to have dropped 
out California would have taken away much of the interest of the whole 
exhibit." — Letter from Thomas H. Brown, Executive Commissioner, 
South Dakota's World's Fair Commission, dated March 5, 1894.

REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 115 



AWARDS GRANTED TO CALIFORNIA EXHIBITORS. 



Below will be found a list of all awards granted to California exhibitors 
bv the Bureau of Awards of the World's Columbian Exposition. The 
list is as nearly complete and correct as it is possible to make it at the 
date of rendering this report, and with possibly a very few exceptions, 
is final, having been furnished over the official signatures of the depart- 
ment chiefs, and by John Boyd Thacher, Chairman of the Executive 
Committee on Awards. 

It will be noted that California received awards to the number of 376, 
and in all but one of the great departments into which exhibits were 
officially classified by the Exposition authorities, the exception being 
the Department of Fine Arts. No awards were granted to exhibitors in 
the Woman's Building, as such, the articles there displaj'ed being passed 
upon as though installed in other department buildings; for example, 
manufactured articles were classed as belonging in the Manufactures 
Building, etc. 

The 376 awards were distributed among the departments as follows: 

No. of Awards. 

In Agriculture - 44 

In Horticulture .- 86 

In Viticulture. 77 

In Floriculture 19 

In Live Stock 16 

In Fish and Fisheries 5 

In Mines and Mining 23 

Iia Machinery 3 

In Transportation..- ,. 7 

In Manufactures 16 

In Electricity 1 

In Liberal Arts (miscellaneous) _ 9 

In Liberal Arts (educational) 66 

In Ethnology 2 

In Forestry 2 

Total awards 376 

The rules adopted by the National Commission excluded from exami- 
nation by jurors exhibits in State buildings, and this rule was generally 
adhered to. The awards therefore represent displays only in department 
or national buildings. From information so far received, it is thought 
that no other State in the Union will make a more varied showing in 
the final reports of the National Commission to Congress than Cali- 
fornia. 

All exhibits maintained by the California World's Fair Commission 
were collective; for example, in the Mines and Mining Building there Avas 
a collection of all known California minerals; in the Agricultural Build- 
ing, a collection of cereals and vegetables. In making their examination, 
the judges considered each display in its entirety; that is, as representing 
the State of California as a whole; whereas, if an examination had been 
made of all trhe separate articles composing the collection, many more 



116 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 

awards would undoubtedly have been secured. It was the ''collective" 
exhibit of minerals, cereals, fruit, wood, etc., that impressed the visitor 
with the greatness of the State, and inclined him to ask questions with 
a view of making it his future home. Seventeen awards were granted 
California as a State, for collective or massed exhibits. The greater 
number of awards was therefore received by individuals or counties 
who contributed to these general displays or maintained independent 
exhibits. 

It was indirectly established by the Act of Congress of 1890 that the 
system of awards at Chicago should be ''educational" rather than 
"competitive." By this Act provision was made for a sufficient num- 
ber of bronze medals, all of equal size and value, for successful exhib- 
itors, thus precluding graded awards, such as gold and silver medals. 
This is regarded as the American system, in contradistinction to the 
competitive system favored by European nations. Each successful 
exhibitor will therefore receive a bronze medal and a diploma. The 
diploma states the distinctive points of merit that entitled the exhibit 
to an award, but no comparison with other exhibits was allowed in the 
report of the judges. 

Reports of jurors on exhibits that secured awards are just beginning 
to be received. As a sample of these reports, there is given herewith an 
official copy of the award to California for the collective agricultural 
display installed in the Agricultural Building by this Commission. 
The wording is the same that will be inscribed in the diploma that 
accompanies the medal. 

"award to state of CALIFORNIA FOR COLLECTIVE EXHIBIT OF CEREALS, GRASSES, AND 

VEGETABLES. 

"Artistic and convenient arrangement and superior quality of individual exhibits 
showing most desirable conditions of soil. A remarkably fine collection of agricultural 
products, embracing cereals, grasses, and vegetables. The exhibit is beautifully arranged, 
and will at once attract and interest every lover of nature and art. The variety of 
cereals and grasses shows the almost unlimited resources of the State for the growth of 
these products. The esculent grains excel in weight, purity, and apparent food value, 
and in many instances show remarkable yields. The grasses are all of luxuriant growth 
and are well prepared. The vegetables are of a very superior quality, and unite with the 
grains and grasses in attesting the richness of the soil and excellence of the climatic 
conditions that produced them. The exhibit of beans is worthj"^ of special mention on 
account of the variety, as well as the superior condition of the samples it contained. 

"(Signed:) N. B. CRITCHFIELD, 
"Individual Judge, and President Departmental Committee. 

"Approved : John Boyd Thachbr, 

" Chairman Executive Committee on Awards." 

After the close of the Exposition, Congress authorized the National 
Board of Lady Managers to issue diplomas of honorable mention to 
persons who assisted in the production and perfection of such exhibits 
as had received awards, and who were duly certified to be entitled thereto. 
So far, little advantage has been taken of this special provision. 

All exhibitors named in the following list will receive medals and 
diplomas, except the few in the Department of Agriculture having '' C " 
affixed to their names, who will receive Certificates of Award.

REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 205 



CONDENSED LIST OF ALL CALIFORNIA EXHIBITORS AND 
EXHIBITS. PRIVATE OR OTHERWISE, 

EXCLUSIVE OF THOSE IN THE STATE BUILDING, AT THE WORLD'S 
COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 



The report of the California World's Fair Commission, strictly speak- 
ing, would include a record of such exhibits only as were collected and 
maintained at Chicago under legislative enactments. There were, how- 
ever, many excellent displays by individuals, firms, and associations, 
that were hot made under the auspices of this Commission. In order, 
therefore, to present briefly California's entire showing at the Exposi- 
tion, there is added below a condensed list of all exhibitors from this 
State who were represented in the great department or national build- 
ings. In most instances the mention of an independent exhibitor 
conveys no idea of the extent, costliness, or beauty of his exhibit. For 
instance, H. Liebes & Co., in making their display of furs in the Manu- 
factures and Liberal Arts Building, erected a sightly and imposing 
pavilion, expending probably several thousand dollars in its construc- 
tion and maintenance, but are necessarily restricted in this report to a 
single line, giving their address and articles exhibited. 

It will be understood that the State and county exhibits included in 
this list are specially described elsewhere. When the " State of Califor- 
nia " is named as an exhibitor, the display embraces a great variety of 
articles, to which many individuals and counties contributed, all being 
arranged and maintained by the California World's Fair Commission. 
Taking the sixteen great departments, with their respective buildings 
and inclosures, as enumerated in the official catalogue of the Exposi- 
tion, it will be seen that California was represented in every one.

210 REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 



FINANCIAL REPORT. 



The financial statement of the Commission, included under Exhibits 
"A," " B," " C," and " D," hereto attached, shows the total receipts and 
disbursements from April 14, 1891, or the date when the Commission 
perfected formal organization, to June 12, 1894, the date of submitting 
this final report: 

In Exhibit "A" is shown the aggregate receipts and disbursements 
in the several departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Viticulture^ 
Mining, etc., together with expenditures under such separate heads as 
Construction, Freight, Insurance, Furniture and Furnishings, General 
Expense, Office Expense, etc. The column of receipts shows a total of 
$320,181 34. This represents the original appropriation by .the State 
of $300,000, the balance being made up of rebates, refunds, rents, and 
salvage from sale of furniture and miscellaneous articles. The items 
under rebates, refunds, etc., represent for the most part the return of 
deposits and advances necessarily made during the Exposition. For 
instance, soon after reaching Chicago with the exhibits, the Commission 
was called upon to deposit with the Treasurer of the Exposition the 
sum of $2,000, as a guarantee that the agreed percentage of receipts 
from the cafe on the roof-garden of the California Building would be 
paid. The check drawn for this amount constituted a disbursement, 
and was so entered on our books. Later, when the deposit was returned 
it was entered under the general head of " Receipts," but was in reality 
a refund of money advanced. In a somewhat similar manner the suna 
of $1,299 was advanced by the Commission on account of expenses con- 
nected with the California Reception Room in the Woman's Building, 
which amount was afterwards returned by the State out of the special 
appropriation to defray the expenses of the Reception Room. When 
first drawn, the $1,299 constituted a disbursement, and when returned^ 
a receipt, but the transactions, so far as the funds of this Commission 
are concerned, were apparent rather than real. The actual net receipts, 
for which there was no previous outlaj'-, aggregate about $7,350, being 
represented almost solely by rents from the cafe and booths, and by 
receipts over expenses in the souvenir department. An itemized state- 
ment of receipts, both direct and indirect, is given under Exhibit " B." 

In Exhibit " C " appears an itemized record of disbursements showing 
the persons or firms to whom payment has been made, the purposes for 
which expenditures were authorized, and the sums of money drawn. 
Vouchers and receipts for all disbursements are submitted herewith, 
separate checks having been drawn for each voucher filed. Each item 
of expense is shown in the report by vouchers numbered consecutively, 
enabling any one so desiring to refer readily to the voucher itself in the 
office of the State Controller for fuller details. Very small disburse- 
ments were grouped under the head o| " Sundry Bills " and " Petty 
Cash," the items being too numerous to justify the space they would 
naturally occupy in a printed report. All salaries were paid by indi- 



REPORT OF world's FAIR COMMISSION. 211 

vidual checks, but after work in collecting exhibits had begun, salaries 
are represented in Exhibit *' C " collectively under the head of Pay Roll, 
with the exception of a single month (September, 1893), which is taken 
as a sample month, where the names of employes are given, together 
with the amounts they received. 

Exhibit " D " gives the reports of expert accountants who, under offi- 
cial instructions, have made careful examination of the financial trans- 
actions of the Commission, as shown by the office records. The first 
report covers the period from April 1, 1891, prior to the formal organ- 
ization of the Commission, to March 6, 1893; the second report covers 
the period from March 1, 1893, to June 4, 1894, the latter date being 
the day prior to the holding of the final meeting of the Commission. 
The two statements therefore constitute a continuous report of the 
fiinancial transactions of the Commission. 

The financial statement as a whole shows total receipts to be $320,- 
181 34, and total disbursements, $299,815 96, leaving an unexpended 
balance of $20,365 38, which amount has been returned to the State. 
As referred to in our letter of transmittal, a carefully matured plan as to 
the best methods of displaying the exhibits from California at Chicago, 
together with a detailed estimate of expenses, had been prepared before 
the Exposition opened, and was adhered to, with the exception of such 
modifications as unforeseen circumstances seemed to warrant. In the 
estimate several thousand dollars had been set aside to defray possible 
expenses of tearing down the California Building and restoring the 
grounds to their original condition, this being an obligation that had 
been imposed upon all States. But inasmuch as we were successful in 
effecting a sale of the building on such terms that a small amount was 
received over and above the cost of removal, the contingent fund was 
largely increased. During the latter weeks of the Exposition it became 
apparent that by careful management there could be returned to the 
State a substantial amount as a surplus, and at the same time carry out 
to the fullest extent the very liberal plans for bringing California to 
the attention of the world, therefore it was decided to effect as large a 
saving as should be consistent with judicious economy and the best 
interests of our great commonwealth.

232 REPOKT OF world's PAIR COMMISSION. 

EXHIBIT "D." 
REPORTS OF EXPERT ACCOUNTANTS. 

March 6, 1893. 
To James D. Phelan, Esq., Vice-President California World's Fair Com- 
mission: 
Dear Sir: In accordance with your order, I have carefully gone over 
all papers, books, vouchers, and accounts in ofl&ce of the Secretary of 
your Commission from April 1, 1891, to date, 

I find the system' of keeping your accounts instituted to be a thor- 
oughly practical one, and to have been carefully adhered to, showing 
clearly in what manner and for what purpose the funds have been 
disbursed. The cash is in absolute balance, and the bank accounts are 
verified by statements from the banks hereto attached and forming a 
part of this report. A detailed exhibit of all receipts and expenditures 
is attached. I find all papers and vast correspondence, etc., to be in 
perfect order, and I am pleased to be able to say that your office, for 
purpose organized, could not be in better condition. 
Respectfully, 
(Signed:) GEO. W. ADE, Accountant. 

FINAL REPORT. 

Report of D. W. Folger on the Books of Accounts for California World's 

Fair Commission. 

My examination commenced with counting the cash on hand and 
comparing same with amount shown to credit by cash book. Found 
balance correct. Then proceeded to prove correctness of disbursements 
of cash from March 1, 1893, [the date when expert Ade completed an 
examination of the books,] to June 1, 1894, by checking vouchers. 
Found each entry made for cash paid out on each book to be represented 
by a properly signed voucher, which had been properly approved by the 
Auditing Committee, and properly numbered, making it easy at any 
time to find voucher for any particular amount. Footed cash books 
and found them correct. Footed the supplemental record of disburse- 
ments as shown in a large book in which a segregation of payments 
has been made, and found amounts as totals and segregations to agree 
with entries made originally in cash book. 

[Here follows statement of receipts and disbursements, being practi- 
cally the same as given under Exhibits "A" and " B."] 

I proved the footings of the ledger and checked off the trial balance, 
which shows face of ledger to June 1, 1894, and found postings and foot- 
ings to have been correctly made and the books in balance. 

The entire work as shown in the various books gives evidence of care, 
system, and accuracy. The work in detail has been voluminous, and 
the efficient and indefatigable Financial Secretarj^, under the careful 
supervision of Secretary T. C. Judkins, has not spared labor in explain- 
ing all entries made. Miss F. E. Hawkins, the Financial Secretary, has 
carried to a final finish a system which, for keeping of accounts, is 
nearly perfect. 

Respectfully submitted. * 

(Signed:) D. W. FOLGER, Accountant.

LIST OF OFFICE ASSISTANTS (NOT ELSEWHERE MENTIONED),

on. It was found impossible, however, on returning to California after 
the close of the Exposition, to obtain a list that would give due credit to 
all concerned, and the plan was reluctantly abandoned.
